Default Length & number of radials

=========================================

All three of B,L & E forgot to determine ground resistivity and
permittivity. That's hardly comprehensive!


Do your predictions fit BL&E's measurements, or those of Sevick, for
*any* assumed values of ground resistivity and permittivity?

Also , please tell us more about the fan of 1.0m radials, on the ground,
that will give ninety-several percent feedpoint efficiency.
