I have a Hustler amateur mobile antenna model RM-80 for 80 Meter 25-30 KHz.
Although it was designed as a mobile I want to use it as a portable, can
anybody tell me the length of the counterpoise needed for this model? or can
I just use an earth wire

Use another RM-80 as the counterpoise.

Hmmmmm, a 2% efficient antenna with a 2% efficient counterpoise. :-)


Hmmmm, I wonder what 2% efficient means. 2% radiated power with 98%
reflected back into the radio? Ability to contact only 2% of the
stations that you can receive? What?
