At the risk of setting off a food-fight, I'm interested in opinions on shortened radials (T or loaded) versus the K2AC/W0UCE folded counterpoise design.  W8JI has an interesting unfinished page <www.w8ji.com/fcp_folded_counterpoise_system.htm> attacking the FCP.  Tom's a combative fella, but he's also very smart.  I am putting up an inverted L, trying to avoid having to lay down 6000 or even 750 feet of on-the ground radials, and don't really have room for resonant elevated radials on 160.
