3. Vertical antennas load nicely. So do Bird Termalines. And they
radiate about the same.
4. See #3. If I had room for a bunch of radials to make the vertical

I have an MFJ-928 ATU at the feed point of an elevated 43' vertical, with
a half dozen radials of various random lengths. It works great for
30/20/17/15. It starts making significant multiple lobes above 21 MHz.
I'm going to try a coil for 80.
