I worked the HS0 for a new one (139) this morning BUT my log just crashed and I
forgot his suffix. Did anyone else work him and know the full call?
Please help.
Thanks!

Bob,
it should be HS0ZKX or HS0ZEE but in contest is QRV ZKX...

If I had copied/worked an HS0 on Topband -even from the west coast, I
believe that, even at my age, I'd remember his call!

I posted this on TowerTalk and I got a couple of responses as to why the
ends of ground radials should not be grounded.
However no-one has guessed as to how many db I have supposedly lost with the
below scenario.
Why is this important? My 60 radials per vertical in my 80m 4-square are
buried a
I generally agree with you, Bob - especially with regard to not grounding
the far ends of 1/4 wave radials!! After all what we are trying to
establish is a low-impedance image plane for the vertical radiator to be
fed against! A 1/4 wave wire, grounded at the far end would have a high
impedance
It seems to me that whether or not one grounded the far end of a radial would
make no difference. I don't see why one would want to ground the end of their
radial, but if it was done with a ground rod that's not really much of a
ground for rf. Think about it: a single ground rod at the base of
If I lay my 1/4 wavelength bare radials several inches below ground; is that
not the same as if the radials were grounded along their length?

True, I expect, Carl. Just don't ground it! If you think about it, a
more-or-less ideal image - plane for the vertical
I am guessing that Bob is talking about insulated wire on the ground. But
some specifics from him would be useful.
Frequently mentioned specific radial implementations, in no specific order:
1) Raised radials
2) Radials of insulated wire laying on ground or embedded in lawns, etc.
3) Bare wire
Yes. And the operative words there are along its length - very different
from grounding at its end! The nastiest, and most difficult case to model
and analyze is the case of radials laid on the ground! I would take a few
elevated resonant radials over that arrangement, most any time!! BTW -
dirt
but if it was done with a ground rod that's not really much of a ground
for rf.
It isn't there to provide a ground. It is there to intercept return
rf, which flows not far below the surface. So a ground spike is a more
appropriate term. Ground rods are good for safety purposes.
Yes, I am
But why ground the end of a bare buried radial that's already buried in
the ground?? Probably be more effective to just soak the area with Calcium
Chloride or something!
A radial network of elevated resonant radials is NOT a non-resonant
counter-poise. In fact an 80m 1/4 wave vertical or a 160m
Hi Jorge!
Well, 160m WAS is tough from here in the USA! So MUCH more difficult from
Uruguay!! You must have a really excellent 160m station and antennas! Very
impressive! I also visited your excellent website from QRZ.com! Also very
impressive!

Elevated radial wires perform much differently than buried radial wires.
Elevated, horizontal radial wires having self-resonant 1/4 wavelength used
as all, or part of an elevated counterpoise for a monopole, tee, or inverted

All true, of course.
Aside from the rocky condition of my lot, one of the main reasons that I
rely on elevated radials is that I can model those antennas handily and I
get good measurable results that compare and agree pretty well with my
EZNEC models. Especially useful in parasitic or phased
Well, I'm sure that was no small feat, Mike and for Jorge to have done it
from Uruguay is impressive to me.
