Default 2 theories on groundplane vertical antenna

Both theorys are wrong...


Hi Denny,

I am adding an element to a dipole, this afternoon... I expect
significant benefits...


Expectation is described in terms of a belief system. Many adherents
to belief systems stand the risk of disappointment, but that does not
invalidate any particular theory, only the belief (a very subjective
thing). Many adherents to belief systems find solace in their beliefs
alone (without any further attempt to quantify).

I am not adding any radials to my vertical antenna as there will be no
measureable benefit...


No "measurable" benefit is described in terms of ability. Many are
unable, but their shortfall in capability, too, does not invalidate
any particular theory (doesn't validate it either).
