Topband: Radials

[DXyiwta@aol.com (DXyiwta@aol.com)]

I read about the quest for radial wire. See my QST article on page 38 of the 
December 1995 issue and further to that, my articles in CQ Jan and Jun 1997. 
The diameter of the radial wire makes a tremendous difference  concerning 
ground loss. I've sed small gauge (#20 etc), but to do it right, use old coax 
braid (still in the coax). You can usually find miles of discarded video 
cable that may be free or cheap. Just leave it in the insulated jacket and 
solder to the braid.
