That's a very interesting study. What about elevated counterpoise systems using
a similar number of radials e.g. 20-30 and a perimeter wire? Are common mode
feed line currents still difficult to suppress as with the 2 and 4 wire systems
in your study, and is it even possible to resonate such a counterpoise?
----snip
About 20-30 radials flattened off the 160 meter system using 1/4 wave
verticals.
The 120 radials being "perfect" thing is obviously a myth, just like the
idea it takes a special counterpoise to reduce losses better than a dozen
other methods the same size.
I'm still hammering away at the counterpoise thing off and on:
