  I used a 300 foot BOG (beverage on ground) last winter for 160 meters and
it worked great. I terminated it with a variable potentiometer. 200 ohms was
the optimum value in my case for 1830 kc and 410 ohms on 1000 kc. I'm
putting another one in for this DX season shortly. On EZNEC 3.0 the F/B
modeled out at 30 dbi, with a gain of -14dbi on 1830 kc, at 1000 kc it
modeled out at a F/B of 14 dbi and a gain of -22 dbi. I did model the BOG at
6" above ground and that height may have created calculated value
performance problems. Real time performance seemed better then the modeling
data.
