"Anyway, in some cases they ran stupid long radials but in very limited directions (like a gob of them over just 5 degrees then 10 degrees etc etc) then they measured the verticals azimuth directivity by way of FS. I seem to remember the radials were many, many miles long in some cases laid on the snow surface."


Gedas, long ago I read about a shortwave broadcast station somewhere in southern Africa that did the same thing. Superlong radials in one direction. I've tried more than once to find a reference to the original article I read or to the station, but I've never been successful. (Google AI provided an answer with callsign. It didn't check out.)
