Bob,
I ran the same thing for years here in AZ with great results. 4 elevated
radials at 12 feet, Each was 132 feet long. Worked 237 countries.

Mike,
Thats good stuff ! I am putting up a 160 with 4 elevated radials at 14
feet (would like to get them higher
but they are the least visible at 14 feet to my wife :-) I am anxious to see
how it works.
thanks for the reference info!
