Larry,
My 80 meter vertical feedpoint is about 2.5 feet from the actual
ground (dirt). The radials leave the ground ring downwards to
the dirt at a 45 degree angle. They are staked at the
point they meet the dirt with plastic garden stakes
and then lay on top of the dirt for a 1/4 wavelength. A
total of 52 radials.
The distance from the radial ring to the vertical element is
about 2 inches since this is a low voltage point. The antenna
is a great performer on 80 and I'm sure it would be on 160 with
the proper matching network. Something I have yet to do.
Good luck,
Bill
