Ok, I have nine of these things; elevated, with four elevated radials each so far; with plans now to add more radials. Also, vines have found the radials to be a great place to hang on to while sprea
Hi, I don't think it would make a bit of difference. It is the capacity loading to ground from the radials the drags the resonant frequency of the vertical element/ radial system down below the band
Hi Jim, You are "in a pickle". You have a complex problem, and it is an area where there is almost no data. One thing is for sure, elevated radials are critical systems. They radiate and couple quite
Tom W8JI pointed out a problem with elevated radials that most don't consider. I used a W6BCX MULTEE (right out of the ARRL or W6SAI handbooks) with 4 then 6 elevated radials. I lost all my 160 anten
I absolutely agree. I used to have a low-band vertical on open field with 4 elevated radials. No objects in several wavelengths around the antenna. When I tried to use the same setup from the embass
