One nice trick I have used in the past to locate buried radials and
check them for continuity is to walk around the radial field with a good
professional FSM (field strength meter) tuned to station's transmitted
signal (at reduced key down power preferably to protect the transmitter)
and with t
You don't put down a lot of radials only for more return current; you
put down a lot also because over time you'll probably lose some of
them to damage or decreased conductivity or some form of disturbance.
If your radial field is uncontrolled, and you can't watch it
constantly, you may wind up wit
