The Beverage on Ground (BOG) antenna
By DL2KQThe Beverage on Ground (BOG) antenna offers ham radio operators a compact alternative to traditional Beverage antennas, requiring less space and fewer support structures. This implementation, optimized for 1.8-7 MHz bands, describes ideal parameters: lengths of 60-90 meters, height of 2-10 cm above ground, and specific load resistances based on configuration. The article details experimental methods for determining optimal load resistance and presents matching systems to convert BOG impedance to 50 ohms. While less effective than classic 200-300 meter Beverages, the BOG provides directional reception in limited space, though performance varies with ground conditions and weather changes.
