I will second the need for short radials if your soil is very poor. I installed my K9AY system last fall after it sat new and unused in my shed for a few years. The first I noticed that it had very p

22. Topband: K2AV radiator vertical height.... (score: 1)
Author: Peter Bertini <radioconnection@gmail.com>
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2019 11:15:55 -0400
My K2AV counterpoise is 12 feet off ground, which leaves me with a vertical run of about 45 feet for the vertical portion of the inverted L. I've noticed that the walnut tree I am using for a support

4 to 8 ohms seems to be rather low for an inverted L... that seems to be more in line for a short vertical? I measured closer to 26 ohms using my analyzer at resonance. I'd expect some improvement in

Author: Peter Bertini <radioconnection@gmail.com>

I think Tom, W8JI's main concern with the K2AV was the unbalanced nature of the feedpoint, due to the short electrical length of the FCP counterpoise system. His observation was that lengthening the

If the problem is related to receiver overload, than a trap at the BCB's operating frequency will correct the problem. Unless the problem is related to a non-linear junction (rusty fence wire, etc.)

I had a similar issue with my K9AY loop. It was very non directive, even with a short ground rod. I added four ground radials laid under the loops to the apex points where they met the ground anchors

I had the same problem with my K9AY loop. Despite being in a wooded area that seemed to have very damp soil the earth conductivity was poorer than I had expected. I added eight short radials under th
