OK,it is somewhat winter hr.I am getting ready to lay ground radials while the grass is dead for the winter.My antenna farm is on a square acre.I have a tower in the sw corner.A sal in the mid north.

Jim,what about the crossing of the radials.Isn't doing that not recommended?Right now I can do either.I am confined to such a pattern due to me antenna placement.I have a overhead power run alomg my

That's primarily an issue with antenna arrays. You still want as many runs of copper as practical radiating out from the base of each vertical antenna. Right now I can do either.I am confined to such

I guess I'm missing what's the "very bad idea" part of this.  We are talking RF here, not lightning.  Right?  Antenna in the middle of this field, right? If I'm following the explanation, the guy is

My tower is near the center of a small lot, 60 by 120 ft (18 by 36 m). When I decided to shunt feed the tower on 80 and 160 years ago, I initially put in 13 crooked buried radials, largely based on O

John Looking at your layout on Google Earth. It looks like you have space to run radials at least 100' to the north, north east and northwest and southwest I would start there Then I would make frien

Thanks for raising the question. As I understand it, he's not loading his tower, but is planning a 2-el 80M array along one side of his lot. If I got it wrong and he is loading the tower, then yes, a

John, I guess I still don't understand your layout, but you definitely want radials spoking out from the feedpoint of that inv-L, and from each element of the future array. Dave's advice is great if

Jim, if what you are saying is the case, then yes, I agree. I would add that I am pretty sure that a lower band parasitic vertical array (an inverted L is a top loaded vert in reality) needs a VERY E
