Default Length & number of radials again

Reg, how did you determine how much attenuation there is
in a radial because of the surrounding ground?

==========================================
Cec,

I don't have enough time left to write a thick book. But as an
engineer and radio amateur with 60 years (on and off) experience of
transmission lines ( from 0.05 Hz to 3 GHz ), and having once read
something about Oliver Heaviside's trouble with university professors,
I was able to make an intelligent guess.

It remains to be seen what the uncertainty is.

Isn't there anything in the Handbook or Google? ;o)

Yours, Reg.
