know, its something big. Since CODAR was suggested, I compared it to CODAR
around 4.8 MHz. Similar, but not the same. BW is similar, but the CODAR I

While probably too much for 40 radials, I have taken to using extra
extension cords for temporary radials. They are bright orange so easy to
see, connect together with cube taps or outlet strips, 100 foot ones are as
low as $17 (ok -- 16 ga, but these are not for power), coil easily, stay

but still could ues a lot of work, but unlike the ferrite products, their
