Beverage-on-Ground (BoG) antennas are commonly used to receive signals from VLF up to the lower HF band. They consist of one or two wires laid directly on the ground. While their proximity to the ground can increase losses, BoGs offer key advantages: they are easy to install and require less space than elevated Beverage antennas to achieve the same electrical length.
I’ll soon be publishing an article on how to model BoG antennas in AN-SOF, using a simple, fast, and sufficiently accurate approach inspired by transmission line theory.
Special thanks to our customer Richard Kunath (K9AO) for bringing this fascinating topic to my attention and generously sharing his insights and archives. His contributions helped make this deep dive possible.
