This is an N4KG grounded tower, elevated feedpoint, 160 vertical. See the
ON4UN Low Band DXing book.
I have 8 radials. Each radial is insulated from the tower. The radials must
then be connected to each other with a ring around the tower. This
connection between the ring and each radial is where I have had problems.
BTW, on my rock hilltop, with no soil, it has proven to be the most
effective 160 antenna of the many I have tried.
