I have the same questions however my vertical section is only about
35 feet high. Can I put the vertical section next to my home and
then put a 20 ft mast on top of the gable end, or will this
make the antenna inefficient? Does the vertical section
have to be out in the clear?
I am also going to use elevated radials, and can they be used
with ground radials as well? Same question. I also have
some 8 ft grounds rods that I am going to tie in.
I intend to resonate both the L and the elevated radials at the
op frequency.
Anxious to get on 160.
