Hello Anton
I thoroughly recommend the K2AV folded counterpoise that I use (248 countries
wkd on 160 in 6 years). Read k2av.com. He suggests that it might be equivalent
to 4 elevated radials. The counterpoise is easy to construct yourself. The
balun is available from balundesigns.com or easy to construct yourself too. It
would be very useful if you have an antenna analyser for final matching.
Contact me off reflector if you want help with.
