Default Cushcraft Vertical Trap Consistency - Is there a trick guys?

Richard - this is ground mounted. with 15 radials as specified in the
manual - and when it works - it works well. Very low SWR and no RF in the
shack. But the traps change characteristics I guess.

Hi Kevin,

Is this an elevated vertical, or ground mounted?

If elevated, do you have the transmission line choked at the
feedpoint?

If ground mounted, what kind of radials system do you have?
