Topband: FCP results

[Richard McLachlan]

After trying buried radials, surface radials and elevated radials with my inverted L, I finally put up an FCP a few days ago. The difference is amazing and I reckon my signal into NA has gone up by 4-6 dB. As I only have a fairly small tree available the vertical section of the antenna only goes up to around 45 feet. The FCP is about 4 feet above ground at the moment so I will raise it a bit more as I think 8ft is the recommended height.
