Re: [TowerTalk] Re: One more ground radial question

Yes a very small change is hard to detect. Also you have
field strenght variations from one day to another or
also variations during the day, ofcourse doing a A/B
test would null that out but still.
Again we have proved that 60 1/4 wave radials is a very
good number
