- 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

- 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

- 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.)
