The KD9SV reversible beverage on ground (RBOG) now finally works! Tested on 160 m, 80 m, and 60 m towards EU. It beats my inverted L on both 160 and 80 m bands. The antenna also now shows proper F/B (switching between forward and reverse; 10-12 dB).

The antenna is 300′ long made out of non-twisted pair cable (18 AWG) laid along the ground. Both ends have 4′ ground rod + three 40′ radials. The feed points have mix 31 ferrite rings with 9 rounds of the RG6 coax wrapped around them (choke).

Here is a quick test on 80 m FT8 (evening; band open to EU):

Some stations that RBOG did not hear (pointed towards EU) were located in south America. The current RBOG is oriented NE/SW and I need to add another one for NW/SE. For explanation of the graph, see the earlier blog post.
