Re: Topband: Adding a parasitic reflector to a vertical

[Roger D Johnson <n1rj@roadrunner.com>]

The one big problem with parasitic arrays is that you must have low enough
ground resistance to get the proper current to flow in the element. With a
driven array, you can force the elements to have the proper current 
distribution.
