[TowerTalk] B olted connections to concrete

Hi Mike,
  You are right in a general sense. 
  But if you do check at the base and are able to vary the vertical length and the radial length, you will find that there is a correlation between the radial system length and number of radials to the vertical length that will move the resonate and antenna impedance. Its the only way I know of getting a "quality factor" on the radial system. The closer to free space impedance at your chosen frequency, the better your radials are doing their job of decoupling the lossy ground. If you could raise the radials only a few feet you would get quite different element to radial ratios.
  Besides its a lot of fun to see what the various layouts and lengths are doing for you, so you can make a informed decision as to how soon to quit messing and start operating.:-)

:HAVE FUN!
