RICHARD,

I remember at the Cedar Rapids hamfest a few year back. I strung one of
these antennas out and the results were very good. I was able to hear WLW
with an S9 +10dB signal. WHAS 840 was coming in with an S9 level. This was
at 12 noon.

Hi Shawn,

I do 90% of my DXing ay my summer cottage where I would lay loads of
beverages, but it would be best for me to place thwm a few centimeters
under
the soil - how do you think that would work?

Thanks

Richard, Warsaw

I have ben using B O G's for over 15 years and have logged tons of new
stations. They are easy to put out and reel back up. I recommend people
give
them a try. Many of mine have been just laid on the ground on or under
the
snow without a ground rod and work great.

San Antonio,Great Republic of Texas (several other radio stations in
Great Republic of Texas,I can pick up too) and Louisville,Kentucky.I can
pick up both pretty good at night times.I used to listen to Louisville
all the time when I was in the Army ARADCOM at Scott Air Force
Base,Illinois and ammo school at Fort Knox,Kentucky in
1963.Louisville,because it was the thing to do.Good oldies music.

Yes it can work. It will work better with poor soil conductivity. That
would be the case for sandy soil.
