[TowerTalk] Elevated Radials

[Tom McDermott]

Hi Bob:
 
In general, elevated radials are strongly resonant, and need to be treated like a radiating part of the antenna (because they are). This means making sure that current is shared equally between the elevated radials, that they are decoupled from ground., etc.
 
One of the best references, including experimental results, is provided by Rudy Severns, N6LF. Here's a link to his site:
