Default Radials -- the same length or not???

What? Haven't got a buck?
Check out www.TeslaRadio.org
we got some 200 acres of salty marshy QTH with two story building and 40
rhombics for a $1. We are looking for extra hands and brains to help with
restoration and operating.
I just put some more pictures and partial drawing of antenna farm (under
location -maps - site survey).

Simple rule for (non resonant) radials in or on the ground:
1. Mo' - da better
2. Longer the better.
3. Better to use (insulated) wire on the surface than buried. Just
stretch it out and let the grass grow over.
4. Water before contest or major DX hunting.
5. Forget the above and set it up on the salty beach.


All good advice. Well, except for #5. Can't afford beachfront property!
