I met a guy at a campground who wants to put up a 1/4 wl verical on 40M

doesnt have room for a good ground system. This is what he wants to try.

An interesting idea, but it is doomed by the springs. 120 springs
amount to 240 bad connections that will generate both noise and TVI.
Six radials is not bad for the vertical and I have to wonder if he can
do that many he can do a dozen.

Actually, the 120 wires planned on the trampoline will work very well
on the ground...


We were concerned because they would be short, while we had room for the
trampoline frame there was only remove for a few full length radials.
