Tom, Do you think that radials --either elevated or laying on the ground-- radiate? Or does all of the radiation come from the vertical monopole under the radial system?
There is a recent thread about this on the antennex.com Antenna-discussion forum, which I originated. I tend to believe that while there is a local field around the radials, it does not go far. The far-field radiation only comes from the vertical portion. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
