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

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
