VHF Ground plane radials
When making the standard VHF-UHF ground plane antenna as illustrated in
all the books, with four ground radials sloped down at a 45 degree
angle, are those radials a tuned length? How much difference would it
make if they were some random length considerably longer than specified?
(as, for example, using the antenna on a different band by merely
changing the center vertical element.)
