Re: [Elecraft] Like MFJ's 931 Artificial Ground

Artificial ground tuners are series resonant circuits with a current sensing metering circuit so that you can tune for maximum current in the series circuit, an indication of optimum cancellation of the reactive ground lead, (resonance). Stuart K5KVH __

Re: [Elecraft] Long wire balun question

As others have noted two radials is a minimum. They should be used in balanced numbers, pairs. You also may benefit to have one radial in each direction you wish to work, as that increases the signals from that direction when you have only one radial in that direction. Pairing radials is suppose

RE: [Elecraft] Like MFJ's 931 Artificial Ground ?

That's exactly what the "Artificial Ground" does, George. When you have a ground wire going to a ground stake it makes a lousy RF ground, but it'll be a much worse one if the wire to the stake is more than a couple of feet long because the wire is an appreciable fraction of a wavelength at HF. If
