Thanks to everyone for the many ideas on radials. I'll give a summary on
the method I used for this project. It is still winter here on the East
Coast and the grass is still resting. I'll get busy with this as soon as
the last snow fall disappears. I own a Unihat vertical and there were
surprising responses from a couple of Hams, Dennis K0CKD and Ed N5NUG,
that ground radials, around 60-90, greatly improves the performance of
the antenna.
Thanks '73 Fred KC4MOP
