Tom and Jim's comments on radials are right on the mark. Some time back I scribbled a few notes on grid ground systems and the sizing of the grid. Although the subject is a grid system, the notes als

While reading all of the references that many of you kindly provided, a recurring theme kept popping up; that being that a very small number of very long radials essentially are ineffective. However,

Of course not. Long radials do not detract from the performance of shorter ones. Rudy s work simply shows that for a given quantity of wire in the radial system, you get more bang for your buck near

I have a 230 foot diameter ground screen having 3'x3' squares. When I first built it, I put a 40 meter vertical in the middle of it and drove it against the center junction of the grid. The drive imp

Rick, That has been the belief in the broadcast industry for as long as I can remember. Every presentation at NAB and IEEE I have ever listened to or read seem to support the thesis that a 50x50 or 1

One of the great things about radials, is that when you get beat-up in a pile-up, you can always go out and add a few more .... It always works, or at least it seems so. John k9dx ___________________

That's interesting because Brown Lewis and Epstein concluded a screen does nothing with an adequate field of radials. We always used small screens around the tower base. It was mainly so people coul

Peter, one long radial running under the horizontal section appears to be quite beneficial, at least in simulation. The other radials should be as about long as the vertical section is tall. The ques

Actually, I will be running more than 500'. I have about 800 or 900' on hand (with the new spool) and I hope to get most of that down by the weekend. If I can get 1000' of #20 or 22 at a fair price I
