a solid ground plane would be more efficient, but is of course bigger, heavier, and more wind load if you are worried about it blowing around. the 3-4 radials bent down gives an easy way to fine tune the impedance... of course if they aren't stiff enough they can get bent if slapped around in waves. Why would a solid ground plane be more efficient? What's the loss mechanism in radials? Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
