TopBand: KZ5MM Noisy Beverage

[John Devoldere (ON4UN)]

Hi Earl:

The elevated radials are just one particular condition. I explained in my
earlier mail that the vertical must be near resonance. That is the valid
reason. 

My 160 m vertical uses only buried radials (250) and couples very heavily
into 2 Beverages that pass approx 25 ft from the TX antenna.

I think your conclusion is erroneous, Eral.
