No, but in general, more is better, and it's better if it's not laying on the ground. It simply becomes the other half of the antenna that you're loading -- think of it as providing a return for the current. When someone said "you want a ground on the KX3," what he SHOULD have said is that you need some sort of return for the antenna current. Radials are one form of return, a counterpoise is another. A counterpoise is simply another conductor connected to the chassis of the antenna tuner (or transmitter). 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
