Hi Gang, I've been running my vertical for a couple of weeks now and it plays very nicely. The setup is: 85' up and 42' horizontal. Comtek 1:1 balun at feedpoint 7' off ground. 3 x ~137' radials all
Mark, An earth ground at the point you mentioned is valuable, not so much because of any change of the feed point impedance as a result, but since this ground can provide provides a protection agains
You will likely get as many different replies as there are repliers on that one(-; IMO the answer is still no. You do not want any earth ground under the main current concentration. Place the ground
Doubtful the ground rod would improve performance any. I wouldn't want to run the setup without an earth ground for safety though (lightning). You could do that at the antenna, but then you should al
Hi I would leave the radials isolated from earth and add as many more as possible even very short ones. For the DC ground use an RFchoke or better a 1/4 wave shorted stub. __________________________
