Dennis, it appears that the near field losses are equivalent to 25 ohms at the antenna base. Since adding more radials does not improve this I suspect the nearby trees are the source of the loss. Dav

Hello to all, I finally found the time to add the final set of radials to the 1/4wl tower vertical(122ft). I recorded the SWR changes after adding radials in groups of four. Here is what I was seeing

Hi Federeco, Most people lost sight of the fact this was just an article that assumed equal current in radials somehow cancels the field below the radials and reduces losses. That theory is not good

As the number of radials increases from the basic 4 the wire gauge can be reduced. With 16+ radials #18 is fine for RF current splitting and longevity; I dont use bare wire for any radials which are
