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

It appears that your reference above from SGC contradicts your single
radial assertion.

For a half wave antenna broken in the center, you claim that the half
connected to the coax braid is a radial.
If it is a radial, why does it have high voltage at the end, behaving like
a dipole?


""Marconi, who discovered if he attached one terminal of his transmitter to
a
wire suspended in the air and the other to the Earth, he could transmit for
longer distances".


For certain types of antennas.

Most of the antennas that exist today did not exist in Marconi'e lifetime.

Each transmittel as a source of AC produces the high voltage at the both
ends.


Both ends of what?

If the one end is in the soil you have the monopooe antenna.


Maybe.

But next Marconi discovered that the radials are better than the soil.


Only under certain conditions.

You should understand that 120 radials have lower voltage than one radiator.


Babbling nonsense.

Also one radial from your "dipole" connetced in series with the shield has
lower voltage.


Babbling nonsense.

Have you posibility to measure the VSWR on the both legs your "dipole"?


This is an idiotic question that shows you haven't the slightest clue
how antennas work.
