Hello Gary and Top-Banders,
Gary, I would be more inclined to think in your case you would be better off
with some radials laid out on each vertical the same way. Short verticals no
longer than the element height should help more than trying to influence the
ground conditions. Each vertical m
The earlier discussion about Epsom Salts
and Beverage grounds got me to thinking
about my active antennas and if it might
be helpful for my situation.
I have 8 antennas (the Hi-Z Pro 8
element), the base of these acts as the
ground rod. The soil conditions I had to
put the bases in are marke
I second TLDetails. TLW, not so much.

I designed a loop for 100 ohm impedance and fed with coax and 1/4 wave
transformer. It has worked well for years. I got the bright idea to
replace the coaxial feed with 35' of 450 ohm ladder line and a Bliss
remote tuner. This combination would not match. I experimented. A
nice dip in VSWR
