think ON4UN even has a pictured of a rotted galvanized ground rod in his

Thanks Eddy,
Rudy's work is excellent and I've studied much of it in detail!
My question, in-artfully posed, related to the impact of the house on a ground
radial system, not elevated vs . Ground radials.
All the best!

Hi All,
I must admit that I've been only half-paying attention to the on-going
discussions of ground radials here, but I do submit herewith---for your

Dear people, I experience a situation that confused me a little bit.
I have a vertical with 60 fence wire buried radials 1/4 wave long plus a ground
rod.
Prior to the contest I decided to check the buried radials of my vertical. I
have bundles ranging from 4 to 7 radials connected to a square r
Hi this study might be of interest to those wishing to optimize their ground
system for various constraints.
