Re: [IRCA] How to phase BOG's? (Jim Glover)

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

There has to be some explanation for why there was so little difference between the car radio and the BOG. Part of that is the length, part is no termination and part is no matching transformer. But it seems as if there should be something else.

That thought is magnified by the increase in signal strengths by putting a hand on the receiver, although since I'm not at all familiar with the receiver in question, if it has an internal ferrite bar antenna, that could partially explain it.
