In reference to all the ground radial postings; A link to a source of RF ground radial links, all in one place without having to search the web, links are always updated. -73- http://www.rossradio.ne
This is the summary as promised. I did as little editing as possible to keep the content flowing. Pardon me please if this gets a little long. There are some good numbers to work with here, and some
AA6VB-Bob, Based on some good replies to "test" some under the home, a thought would be to go for it-however then install a switching arraignment for those radials under the home. Could yield in some
I must agree strongly with Steve, VK6VZ: Please don't take these discussions to another reflector (unless duplicated here). They have been very, very informative. I've been reading and storing tech p

I was under the impression that If you have elevated radials and if you take even one to the ground you might as well move all to the ground..??Fred KB4QZH -- Original message --From: donovanf@erols
Hi Clive, A second resonant radial is a good idea, but not because it might cancel horizontally polarized radiation. Why? Because -- just like a Beverage -- a horizontal wire close to the ground has
Frank what about adding another radial to each vertical to cancel the Horizontal polarisation from the single radial. 73 Clive GM3POI Hi Dan, Your small lot is an ideal candidate for K2AV's folded co
I realize this is turning into a long article on the reflector, and overall is not really a response to an individual poster. But we are into yet another season and it's getting late for construction
Hi Dan, Your small lot is an ideal candidate for K2AV's folded counterpoise. Contact K2AV for guidance, he's helped countless successful users. www.k2av.com A few clarifications regarding radials and
Short version: Believe what you measured. Long version: We did measurements of this for understanding and designing BOGs some years back. In the upper east central part of North Carolina (contains Ra
Hi Dan, An inverted-L with one elevated radial has lots of room for improvement, almost anything will improve what you now have. How much improvement you can achieve is mostly determined by site limi
My 160 ant is a 1/4 wave 80M GP. A 1/8 wave GP. Currently 18 radials, all 1/8 wave on 160, which begin at 15 ft, end more or less 10 ft. Seeking ways to optimize flexibility I turned to EZNEC, discov
Requesting "Off-Line" replies to a question I am strongly considering purchasing an Elecraft KPA-500 and KAT-500 amplifier and tuner combo. The KPA-1500 is probably too much for the neighbors around
I had always understood that because of coupling, radials laid on the ground were functionally the same on top-band as those buried a few inches. Recently, some experimentation with Beverage on groun
Hi, Tzikas Short version: Your six elevated 1/8 wave radials at 9 meter height will do better than the plan in your picture with the long 1/4 wave radials in only one direction. Make sure you have a
There is person who is also a ham who sells radial staples -- they work very well and are dirt cheap -- something like $7 USD for a 1/2 pound bag of 315 pcs. He is (or was) on Ebay but his email is:
Always enjoy RF Ground Radial conversation! Regarding the solid over stranded wire...I have found that the stranded behaves much better when laying it down as it forms to the various contours of the
Currently using a 45' aluminum tube vert with 3X15' wire capacity hat. Have about 20 random on-groundradials. Feed point is 3' off ground and mount is a treated 5X5 post with PVC pipe sleeving over
Good Afternoon, I would be interested in hearing from anyone who is using a 1/4 wave monopole with both elevated radials and a ground screen. My antenna includes both two elevated, tuned radials and
