Besides the benefits mentioned, I find the BOG has less QRN, NOISE, in
disturbed conditions. Then it can often make the difference between working
some DX, and working no DX.

I agree the BOGs are great for local crud reduction and in a suburban area
while the DX performance isn't great, the S/N impact just from ducking the
noisy switched power supplies, chargers, garbage low voltage lighting
switching matchbox transformers, PCs etc is significant. Even 100 ft wires
on ground with a small tuner can be a big boom to receiving.
