John, I've read in a number of places that the counterpoise should ideally be slightly longer than the antenna wire. Perhaps that is why little difference was noted. 73, Charlie N1AOK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
