Default Anyone know where I can find plans for an artificial ground?

Assuming the monopole is 1/4 wave long, and has a 1/4 wave long radial.
The radial is in line with the monopole. Everything is ungrounded.


The radial connected with the shield of the coax is the ground.


So what would happen if I connected my transmitter, which has a 50 ohm
{ostensibly) output with the hot lead of the coax connected to the
"radial" instead of the "monopole" and similarly with the braid?

Think long about this.

Just to clearly understand where you are on how this really works.
