Besides "optimim number(s)," I wonder if there is supporting analysis for the
connection of the radial ends??
I have around 80 elevated radials that range from 50 foot lengths, running east
and west, and 25 foot lengths running north and south (all of that a function
of being geographically challenged). I have not tied the bitter ends
together....never really thought about it when I put the radial field together
but seem to recall reading something about tieing the ends together and having
a well bounded complete "grid" underthe antenna.
Thoughts? I tend to think it wouldn't hurt... 72, Jim Rodenkirch K9JWV
