Good information. Finding the best BOG F/B. I use an model MFJ-5014 white noise generator off the 'back' of the BOG antenna. Then tune the receiver to find the 'minimum noise' signal frequency. Adjust the BOG antenna length to bring it into 160 meters.. Care must be taken not to create a neighborhood noise problem.

Noise level was constant. I had 4 dB difference between front and back signals. Is that what I should expect? Is 1 wavelength distance enough to do this experience? This will be repeated with different terminations and I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. It will also be applied on the newly installed BOG to determine optimum length. Tnx and see you on the air! -- Ash ~ 3V8SF Topband: *http://www.kf5eyy.info/topband.htm * Phone/SMS/Whatsapp: (+216) 22670026 Skype: kf5eyy _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
