How will this affect the efficiency in the directions with no radials ??


EZNEC says one loses about 3.5 dB in the direction of
no radials.

Uhhh, not good !

Going to see if I can sneak a few radials under the grass outside of my
garden...


Or - just turn on the sprinklers while you're on the air.
Maybe the ground will compensate for the shortage of copper if its wet.
