Question regarding elevated AND ground radials. A few have mentioned using
both elevated and ground radials under inverted L's and towers, etc. I have
recently installed 4 full size elevated radials for a 160 shunt-fed tower
and left some of the ground radials intact. Is there any associated/unwanted
ground loss when doing this? Should you go with one or the other and not
both???? or does the old ham rule-of-thumb, "more is better" apply here?
