[TowerTalk] Elevated Radials

[Richards]

Here is some info:

I attach an article by some Dx-pedition that used verticals and elevated 
verticals.

       http://pages.prodigy.net/k2kw/learning.html


I emailed them about the elevated verticals and they talked me
out of it.  Maybe you can get a more encouraging answer from
them... They were very nice and gave me a detailed answer.

Good stuff in the ARRL Antenna Manual on elevated radials... which
also discouraged me from trying them.

Just my take - hope you have better luck.
