[TowerTalk] 40 meter vertical ant

[Peter Forbes]

Hi All,

Why not rephrase the question slightly and take away the issue of mast 
support height?

You have a 66 foot tree (or wooden mast) from which you can properly hang a 
vertical dipole.

Alternatively you can have a 33 foot high vertical monopole with 66 radials 
ON THE GROUND

Alternatively you have a 33 foot high vertical monopole WITH ITS BASE AT 33 
feet high with a significant number of quarter wave radials almost 
horizontal to the ground.

In which order would you expect performance to be?

Will the ground conductivity, both near field and far field now be the 
significant factor?

Cheers

Peter   VK3QI
