- I think three feet is way too deep. Three feet of dirt would be a pretty good RF shield over the radials and would probably render them useless. I don't have any "scholarly papers" handy to verify th

- Just do what you can do. If 60' is the maximum vertical length you can have, then do it. It should work fine. Just adjust the horizontal length for best SWR. You will probably end up with a total len

- No balun needed ..... just connect coax right to the antenna. This is an unbalanced antenna. The proper length is somewhere around 135', with about 65' or so vertical if you can manage this. If you h
