Topband: Effect of Earth Conductivity on a Buried Radial Field

[Richard Fry]

As an observation...

The link below shows how the r-f ground connection loss and system radiation 
efficiency of a 10m monopole using a set of 32 x 10m radials vary with the 
conductivity of the earth in which the radials are buried (frequency = 1.85 
MHz).
