Topband: Fw: Re: Radials over a stone wall

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

Maybe it is too late at night, but why would it make any difference whether
a radial was "coax shielded" or not?

Radials perform lying on the ground, slightly buried under ground, or even
elevated.  The recent FCP discussion revealed a lot about this.

If a radial runs along the ground and then up over a wall, what difference
would it make?  If you can answer that question then you would know whether
or not drilling a hole in the wall would be better or worse.

No one says how high the wall is, but my opinion is that you would be hard
pressed to measure any signal difference 2,000 miles (or more) away whether
the radial ran straight and undeterred on the ground, or through a hole in
the wall, or humped up over the wall.

I think it has something to do with fields.

That's a VERY interesting thought.  Somebody model it please.
