Topband: Fw: Shortened Radial Experiments

[Ian Keyser]

Very interesting indeed Brian and this is the first real practical approach 
to proving the point that I have seen in print.

But still I think this is only making the aerial 'work' and if the ground 
conductivity is poor the max angle of radiation will be high.   I never seem 
to see any comments about trying to improve ground conductivity at 
considerable distance from the aerial.

In the UK we have the problem of lack of space and I have overcome that to 
some degree by usign neighbours fences and earth spikes.   I KNOW that it 
has improved my Dx capabilities, but no guru seems to want to come out of 
the woodwork and give some idea of how far we should continue before it 
comes a point of diminishing returns!
