There always seems to be more questions than answers or even opinions when
it comes to radials. Here's mine:
I live on the side of a mountain. The flattest land, which is where my
antennas are, is at about a 20 degree slope. For my 160 Meter vertical that
means I can easily put quarter wavelength radials on the ground to the
North, East, and South. But to the West I can only go 30 to 60 feet before
reaching a very steep drop off over about a 60 degree arc.
Question: Is there any value in using quarter wavelength size radials in
the southernly direction once they hit the very steep drop off or would I do
just as well using 30 to 60 foot radials ending at the steep drop off?
Thanks and 73... Bill K3WA
