Or the person on here who went from an extensive radial system to a full
screen claimed a 5dB improvement but now denys the possibility. Its in the
TB archives from 1998.
Carl,

what other people say just to start a

Charlie, you are so far off the wall Im not even going to bother with a long
detailed answer since it likely wont go thru.You dont have a clue what Im
trying to get across so why bother.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with my 40M configurations, one version
wasnt up to expectations and
from the ocean; likely leftover
from the iceage roll back.

Well, I also used a 40m GP with 4 elevated resonant radials about 6' above
ground and I worked an awful lot of really good DX with it!! I found it
to
be about equal to my half-wave vertical dipole for 40m. (Center fed
through
a home-made 1:1 W2DU style current balun)
I'd expect that.
That is quite an improvement. I had to have dropped the base impedance
from
400 ohms to 40 ohms for it to do that.
Things are often magic when we rely on feelings or emotions to measure
decibels.

Charlie,
I will post my results. I
One thing I've wondered: are elevated radials more likely to pickup local QRN
than those on the ground, or buried? The on-ground 160M loop antennas I've used
for reception seemed quieter here than those that were elevated 15-20'.
Before my 160 tree blew down this Fall and took the Inv-L
