[TowerTalk] Grading a ground radial system

[Dinsterdog@aol.com]

I'm trying to figure out how well my radial system is performing with test  
down at antenna feed point:
 
Radials detached:
 
Resonant point w/ 1.6 SWR,  80 ohms impedance,  40Khz  bandwidth at 2:1 SWR 
bell curve
 
 
With Radials attached:
 
85Khz drop in resonant point now with 1.4 SWR, 42 ohm impedance,   56 Khz 
bandwidth at 2:1 SWR bell curve.
 
With radials, big drop in resonant point, impedance drops at antenna, and  
slightly wider bandwidth at 2:1 SWR bell curve.  So how is my radial  system 
doing?
