Here is my problem I am trying to solve. This is why I was asking about
radials earlier.
- I have a full length 1/4 - ish wire that runs over top a tall tree and
the last 25 ft or so are horizontal
- I can do elevated radials or lay radials on the ground
- I'm not worried about SWR as I can dial that out later.
- I have an 80m common feed point for a similar wire for 80M cw
The antenna does work, but I can tell by the SWR 2:1 bandwidth I have
significant ground losses now with 4 ground radials ~ 1/4 wave for each
band (80/160)
Thoughts and suggestions?
