Otherwise, the coax feedline on the ground seriously degrades the antenna's performance! I don't recall anyone mentioning this important fact in these recent threads here. See https://web.archive.org/web/20180815141931/http://w0btu.com/160_meters.html, partway down the page; and the links about elevated radials below the graphs at https://web.archive.org/web/20180815154501/http://w0btu.com/Optimum_number_of_ground_radials_vs_radial_length.html These are must-reads for anyone with elevated radials, IMHO. 73 Mike W0BTU _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
