41. Topband: Ground Radials and an inv-L antenna (score: 161)

Okay guys here's the latest scenario.............because the VSWR curve looks as it does and it was checked 5 times or more for accuracy, (see attachment) I decided to disconnect all the radials and

Saw the comments on adding radials, so I had to comment on my situation this year. I didnt get around to rolling out the 27 radials ( 30'-130' long depending on PL) yet, so I entered the ARRL 160 Con

The only place Ive found tuned elevated radials being discussed so much is on ham forums. A bit over 20 years ago I installed a slanted wire 1/4 wave vertical for 160 coming off the top guy wire of a

I also found the 2005 thread "tuning elevated radials" on this reflector quite informative. One thing that stands out is that I may be better off with more than 7 shorter than 130' radials. Note - if

Before tackling the last question, it needs to be pointed out that 60 evenly spaced 1/4 wave radials on the ground, and many (most) antenna wags would say that placing chicken wire should not make an

Hi Bob, That's a superb antenna farm you've grown in central Ohio! Congratulations! Your elevated systems of four radials would work even better with more radials. You can prove that to yourself by m

When I first looked at Eddy's list I laughed. However, it does convey a clear message that there are a lot of ways to achieve the goal of a workable low-band vertical. I certainly won't argue with th

A vertical will radiate without any ground, and actually radiate pretty well if the common mode feedline currents can be controlled and loading losses minimized. Radiation comes from charge accelera
