Subject: Re: Topband: Counterpoise very interresting
IMHO word of caution:
LB Cebik was a great modeler, has done lot of work modeling various
antennas, configurations etc but have not built most of his models in real
life with real wires and tubing.
Granted, modeling programs are getting better and better, are a great tool
especially for comparing some designs, but still do not 100% capture real
life variables and one has to be cautious in trusting the modeling results
as a gospel.
Recent posts about ground, radials, counterpoise are one of the areas of
possible discrepancies.
Just like with the loading coils "controversy", the "ground thing" is a bit
muddied up.
