Elevated Radials on Shunt Fed Vertical

[Scott Ellington]

Anyone have any experience using or modeling a shunt fed vertical
with elevated radials?   Without isolation at the base of the 
vertical, it seems doubtful the impedance of the elevated radials
would be low enough to help much, but I'm not sure.

Am I mistaken, or were there a great many stations responding with the
last two only?  Sure seems like net operation protocol is spreading to
contesting.

I have - wouldn't recommend unless you assure good antenna matching
and assure that you can't accidently change bands without the proper
antenna.
I have had mine for about 7 years and it is a fun little pa. But - very
fragile. I only see a couple of dB difference between it and my
4CX1500B.
In the 7 years, I have replaced the finals at least 7 times, replaced the
power supply pass transistors twice, replaced the output switching
board once, and it is now DOA from a bad microprocessor.

tight fitting stuff, forget it!

Hi all,

I am interested in finding a semi rare location for CQWW in November.
Preferably one with an available QTH but not 100% necessary if you know a
good hotel that will allow me to put up antennas.
Interesting regions are
Africa, Middle East or Carribean.

If you have any available ideas let me know!
