Hardy,

Wow, that is great results ! I am anxious to get mine up. It has been raining a lot here in northern CA and I am
doing the antenna work sporadically on dryer days.
Thanks for sharing your results Hardy.

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!

scroll down to the section "QEX article on elevated radial ground
systems" and study the material in the links.

I was amazed at how well just two elevated radials work here, though I
plan on four someday.

     Do the 160 verticals with 4 radials elevated at 20 feet,
     individually outperform the other vertical with 60 radials on the
     ground ?
