Topband: FCP model

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

I think a more relevant question should be "is there a better or simpler elavated radial arrangement that can fit into the 66 foot linear space that will radiate more effectively than the FCP design"? I'd be willing to extend that distance to 100 feet since many surburban lots can support a 100 foot run.

Most people cannot erect elevated 2 or 4 quarter wavelength full length radials.

The question is not "does the FCP work?" but does it
have any advantage over conventional elevated radials?
We already know that folding an antenna element has no advantage
over loading coils, why should radials be any different?
