Topband: Elevated Radial Efficiency - an inordinately long post

W5UN did extensive A-B measurements between a collocated
elevated radial system and an extensive, ground-mounted radial
system.  And Dave chose the elevated radial system for his
4-squares on 80 and 160.

I am reluctant to characterize Dave's extensive results over many,
many months of testing although I have visited with him and looked
at his arrays.  The best I can do is to encourage him to make his
tests public.  And I know that he is very happy with his choice and
the performance of his two arrays.
