Hi, all concerned: I sent this as a private post, and then thought it might be of wider interest: I'm 'doing' my yearly ground: I have a boatload of those foot-long galvanized spikes, which I put in

OM, Sounds like a great way to get excersize. I used an electric lawn edger (essentially a power saw on wheels at the end of a stick) to cut slits through the sod about 2-3" deep. Pushed in the wire

Possibly you could help with an ongoing discussion about radials. I have a roof mounted Hustler 6BTV. One friend, as well as Hustler, recommends that radials should be cut for the individual frequenc

Since your Hustler vertical is above ground and roof mounted, I would install at least one individually cut and tuned 1/4 wavelength radial for each band of operation. Four or more would be better. T

Something to try for roof mounted vertical is to staple aluminum foil to the roof rafters in the attic and then tie it to vertical's radial system . At 03:30 PM 9/2/03 -0700, Steven Gehring wrote: Si

For the winter, I put up an Inverted L with TWO 130 foot radials 7 or 8 feet off the ground, high enough to avoid 'deer hits'. Is it worth the effort to raise them to 16' as many recommend? Ed, W3EKT

Question regarding elevated AND ground radials. A few have mentioned using both elevated and ground radials under inverted L's and towers, etc. I have recently installed 4 full size elevated radials

On a related topic, how much (minimum) should a radial be elevated off ground to justify (in terms of performance) calling it an elevated radial on 160m? Is there some rule of thumb minimum elevation

The 'experts' say elevated radials for 160 should be 16 feet off the ground. And the feed does not have to be up there, it can be at ground level, just slope the radials up at a 45 degree angle. Ed,

Those radials are for RF, not lightning protection. They may actually gather energy from a nearby strike and inject it into your system! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Medium wave bc stations routinely rely on their radial system for lighting protection (among other things). A pair of electrodes with a roughly 1/2 inch air gap is a standard component on their tower

The loops at the base of the tower are Austin Transformers. They power the steady burn lamps and the beacons. It is a pier-pin base. Gravity holds the tower on the base (and the pin helps too). Here
