- Having followed the Inverted L discussion and learning lots, I decided to document my 160 elevated ground plane antenna. It has been up for thirty years. I replaced the feedline last year. It is 200

- Dave, I went thru this with my 160m elevated T, measuring current in each radial. With my MFJ RF current meter calibrated on several ranges I found the 125ft 10ft up radial currents varied about 5 to

- Dave and Grant, Interesting discussion. I am thinking about stringing up a 160 vertical hanging off the side of the tower and am thinking about 4 elevated radials. I don't have the real estate to acc

- Bob, The reference to Dick Weber's article in the last email is the first time I have heard of shortened radials supposedly being better than full quarter wave. Seems worth exploring. My vertical is

- N6LF says "slightly less than a quarter wave" for elevated radials, to optimize balance. Again, a thorough study of his website yields many rewards. 73, Jim K9YC _____________________________________
