I have often wondered whether elevating a vertical has any advantage over a
vertical on the ground with a good radial system. "Good being defined as 40
or more radials, 0.2 wavelength or longer at the lowest frequency....de N4OO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last few issues of NCJ have addressed the issue of elevated radial
systems and have covered the effectiveness of them compared to ground mounted
systems. Unfortunately there is no black and white answer as to which is the
better
way to go for the individual operator. It depends on location, what kind of
soil you have, how many radials you have and how high you can get the radial
system.
