- I have used old coax for radials. at the connection point to the vertical, I short the inner conductor to the shield. Works great. I have experiemented with using different types of wire for radials

- With elevated radials operating at 180 kHz, the radials were probably a form of Litz wire, a multi-strand wire that has each strand insulated from the other. Such wire is necessary to get low loss at
