FWIW: Maybe it is not suppose to work well but elevating the radials made a
big difference with my portable St. Louis Vertical. Elevating it 5 ft mad a
vast improvement in performance. If you have not see this articla on improving
short vertical performance by VK1BRH, I invite you to take a peek
http://www2.dynamite.com.au/vk1brh/Antsim.htm.
Since elevating the radials an phasing two portable verticals they outperform
my trusty DOUBLE ZEPP (up 60 ft) routinely now.
