Hi Tony, I'm not an authority on 4 squares but I have one on 80m. Also, =
I
was part of Colatchco, Inc. along with W1FC and W1CF (silent key). I was =
in a
meeting with John ON4UN when he met with W1FC and me wherein Fred, W1FC,
imparted all of his 4 sqr. knowledge for the benefit of hams, via ON4UN's
book, Low Band DX'g.
More radials sounds like a likely efficiencey improvement for you. The ol=
d
theory being a max of 120, 1/4 wave long vs. a 1/4 w. vertical. With resp=
ect
to "how vertical is vertical", I believe that this type of vertical should
work ok with respect to departure angle or electrical characteristics to a
maximum of around (? my memory) 35 degrees off perpendicular to ground.
That's about all I can contribute. Good luck, Steve Davis, K1PEK, DAVIS=
