I mentioned before that I thought we should consider a radial system for
a quarter wave vertical to be just a counterpoise, and it turns out that
a bit of research says that is obvious. That wouldn't be the first time
I stumbled across something I thought was interesting only to find out
that it was common knowledge, but in any case I did some EZNEC models to
investigate that further. This YouTube video describes what I did.

I'm pretty crummy at these videos (and they are often best watched at a
higher speed) so be gentle with me, but I'd appreciate any comments ---
pro or con --- on the content.
Take care,
