Jim,

This is a point that gnaws at me:

There was a recent article about optimizing a radial system based on the
soil. The article described for a given amount of wire how it should be
distributed for optimum performance.

What is your opinion of following those or similar guidelines?

Also, I'm still looking for a coil Q program for HF loading inductors.
