Topband: buried radial problems.

[Enzo]

Hi everybody,

>Radials that are elevated or insulated need to be resonant...
The elevated radials are resonant, actually I put them up to discover why 
the grounded system didn't work. The grounded ones have different lengths: 
40m (131 f), 20m (66 f), 10m (33  f) and they are buried  5cm.

> Insulated wires laying on the ground will have an electrical length
> that is hard to predict so resonance length is problematic...
As they are insulated, should I put a little ground rod for each to perform 
the efficency?

I also tried to tune the antenna using the directly RTX with 10W, but I 
didn't solve the problem.
