Hi Rich and the reflector… I use a Wolf River Coils mini with the large whip (210in I think) for portable ops. It came with three radials.
After reading Rudy Severns’ articles, I built a set of 16+- ft radials (total of 18 - 3ea of 6 into 1) for the unit. I have only anecdotal evidence, but I think the more robust radial field improves the antenna system. They take only a few minutes to deploy and coil easily for storage in the travel bag I use. It’s a good recommendation, Rich!
