- Since everyone is talking about Capacitive Loading: I have been using a vertical, 27.5 foot high with a Cap Hat ( 6 foot Square) and a loading coil at 22' up. I have 30, 25' radials. This has been th

- Good idea for limited space, but we should remember this. When the antenna has a large hat capacitance, compared to the distributed capacitance of the structure, there is no reason at all to put the

- Yes, I know that now, that is why I thanked you. But at the time I built the antenna I also had 30M in mind, the coil acting as a choke , giving me a 30m vertical also. It also allows me to operate 1

- TopBanders, Here's another solution for improving the efficiency of short verticals that doesn't seem to be widely known. Add a second (or even a third) identical short vertical in very close proximi

- Hi John, If the book says that, it is not correct. Originally proposed in 1920, you can find this system analyzed in Jasik's "Antenna Engineering Handbook" 1st edition page 19-9. Ground loss remain c

- Basically I agree: there is only improvement with the multiple in-phase verticals when the original ground system *is* smaller than optimum. That was implied in the original premise about losses star

- Hi John, The point I tried to make is that each individual ground system has to be smaller than optimum, and *isolated*, with no way to connect them for a multi-drop system to help. In other words, i
