Gang, This is my annual request that there is a simpler way to feed a tower. Tom N4KG wrote an excellent article on his reverse feed system in the April 1994 QST. With Tom's system using elevated rad
If you make the combination of the length of the radial(s) plus the length of the tower above the radial(s) equal to an electrical half wavelength, everything on the tower below the radial(s) is chok
The N4KG system looks good when evaluated for SWR and ease of installation. It, however, has serious performance issues. 1) W8JI and others are right - there can be significant ground losses dependin

I actually found a post that N4KG himself made a couple of years after his QST article where he mentioned that the performance of his inverted system seemed to be worse than what he once had with a f
