Hi Earl:
The elevated radials are just one particular condition. I explained in my
earlier mail that the vertical must be near resonance. That is the valid
reason.
My 160 m vertical uses only buried radials (250) and couples very heavily
into 2 Beverages that pass approx 25 ft from the TX antenna.
I think your conclusion is erroneous, Eral.
