Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] Is this a good deal (and good wire) for BOG wire?

["Bill Nollman" <billct97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, my 23'x30' loop/flag is a bit in need of an amp.
My 45'x75' "SuperLoop" actually has too much gain and I need to engage
attenuators on the rx !

Likewise I'm really fascinated with EWE's to include David Hamilton's
Slinky version.  Unfortunately they may be too quiet for use here and
may need an amp.  Wonder if one could put a EWE on the ground?

I'm presently in love with big loops. I wonder how a portable loop of
maybe
15 feet high by 45 feet long compares to a 500 ft BOG ? I can tell you
the
loop is really quiet with no reliance on an earth ground. The longwires
I
strung up 300 feet, 10 feet in the air were VERY noisy.

Yes - On the Ground (only).  My plan is to find a spooler and go to the
soccer fields near work.  Unwind it and DX, then crank it back on the
spool.  I also have a crate for the "Crate Loop" project and for as
gentle as I would be with it, I think 18 g would be okay.  NOT if I was
leaving outdoors or whatever.  The price for the first auction that I
posted would be about $21 including shipping.  Not bad.  May buy 2.  

Thanks for the link!

Dave

BOG - if you really mean On the Ground then it might be. I've never done
a
BOG. But I really like 12 Guage stranded wire for loop antennas. Usually
about $50 at Home Depot for 500 feet. Found better deals on eBay but
shipping usually makes it about the same price. Brown is REALLY stealth
!

I saw this on eBay.  I could not tell what type stranded or non, single
conductor or whatever but 500' for $11.95 + shipping, sounded good.  Can
you tell if it's BOG Worthy?  Thanks and Merry Christmas!
