Topband: Multiple Ground Systems

[Michael Rauh]

Just FYI:

In the case of an 80M foursquare with 60 each 66 foot radials, the total radial
wire required is 15,840 feet.

Roughly 200 feet of buss wire and 11,764 feet of radial wire will be needed for
the buss wire radial field.

By using the buss wire pattern, there is a savings of 4076 feet of radial wire,
or about 26%.

These numbers scale in a linear fashion for 160M or other frequencies.
