[TowerTalk] re: Radials for a tuned tower

[Nat Lee]

All.

I have a question for the "experts". I am working out the initial plans for setting up a rotating
rohn 45 tower in the backyard and I would like to tune it for 160m. I have a pond that is very
close by and I was thinking about the radials issue as the ground is obviously wet with fresh
water. Should I only bother with radials heading away from the pond and one into the pond, or
given the water level nearby, can I get away with less? Also surrounding the tower will be a 3 el 
elevated phased vertical array. (wife is very forgiving) ;)
