"If you CAN'T do radials right, DON'T do grounded verticals. As simple as that."
I disagree. Licensed in 1964 at 15, I operated with a 4BTV through high school and college with just a ground rod. I didn't know any better, but had lots of fun - even with a Knightkit T60 transmitter. Was it efficient? Nope. But I sure enjoyed the hobby during that time. Of course, I later learned that I could have had even MORE fun if I'd had radials.
