[Antennas] Beverage On Ground

[Gary Smith]

I am planning to install a BOG antenna for use on 160m and for BCB DX'ing.  I think I can get about 1,000 feet of wire out in the yard if I run it around the perimeter of the property.  I have two questions:

1.  Is this an effective way to employ the BOG design?
2.  Do I need to use a termination resistor with this type of antenna and, if so, how should I expect it to affect performance?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
