Hi John and thx for the reply. I too used to sell verticals short and I was
mystified why anyone would admit to having a "ground mounted" vertical of all kinds. But with a well built vertical and plenty of radials one can bust pileups in DX...I am so pleased with my 5-BTV. -- Charlie Ham Radio - AD5TH www.ad5th.com Live Blues Music www.492acousticblues.com "John Franklin" wrote in message ink.net... Charlie............I read the posts with humor as well. Sounds like you would like to do some serious field measurements. I will say that one year for field day two friends and myself put up a 4BTV, with 32 radials out. We got out so well with it we took the 40M dipole down. We worked quite a bit of DX as well, this was from a mountain top. I think too many people sell the verticles short...............and I will bow out at this point. 73, WB7FFI "Charlie" wrote in message ... Using a Hustler 5-BTV ground mounted with 72 radials. I have heard about antenna modeling but is there any way to do a real world take off angle measurement??? |
