[TowerTalk] Top Band antenna ?

[Henk Remijn PA5KT]

More shorter is better then less long.
You might check out http://www.antennasbyn6lf.com/. This page has a good 
explanation about radials and sizes.

I use 25m radials. In EU wire comes in length of 100m, so using 25m is easy.
I also have shorter radials because of space limits.
