VHF Ground plane radials

If the ground radials go from 45 degree sloping downward to straight horizontal, at what point does it become a ground plane and not a dipole? Hi Rick, It becomes a "ground plane" (as you think of it) only when you plant the radials (fully horizontal) into the ground - otherwise, with elevation, it is an elaborate vertical dipole. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
