Default analysis and hypothesis question?

Are there others?


Hi Dan,

There is the 130 foot radial (the transmission line's unchoked
shield).

There is also an unreasonable assumption that this slight variation is
meaningful.

You would do better (per the advice of Reggie, in times past) to
invest the wire in those 8 radials to more radials that are not much
longer than the radiator is tall.

Soil from a former forest is not particularly good soil; and it isn't
particularly relevant to the outcome except as a large resistor (which
may more than explain the good match).
