...and I DO have a SPECTACULAR antenna...a W6QHS "++" 402CD.  Man that sucker
plays and all my KLM stuff will be wasted before that thing starts bending.

Do the mods...ALL the mods.  It should last and stay straight forever...

Has anyone tried the following:

Put a multiband vertical, say MFJ 1792, on a pole about 18 feet off the ground.
Connect the radials at GROUND LEVEL and lay them out symetrically. 

Is there a difference in performance compared with a setup where the radials
are connected just below the feedpoint ???
