- I would shoot for 60 1/4 wl on the ground (like W3LPL says). This will be "very close to" optimum and the losses in the near field will be well below 1 dB. Anything less is going to be "dB down". Mea

- No just use any old wire you can find. Put out as many 1/4 wl radials as possible, if you cant do 1/4 wl make them as long as possible. The more wires you put out the better it will be, it can never

- Well base loading should be better then linear loading, lower losses. However the base loading LC network has to have low Q or at least "decent" Q. Once I had my 160 vertical linear loaded, it was a

- I once was thinking about a deal like this. In my case I wanted to put a 40m 4SQ inside my 80m 4SQ. I did model it and saw a slight gain loss, think it was just around 1 dB or so. I didn´t like that
