I've been reading the radials thread on the rraa, with the works of BLE

about. I have a copy of BLE in PDF that I can put on a CD and mail it to

you don't have a copy, which I'd be pleased to do.

All,

Not to minimize the fine offer of Mr. Maxwell, any of you who might prefer
to download a PDF of this BL&E "benchmark" paper with empirical data on
buried radial ground systems vs radiation system efficiency can do so from
the link following the text below, which I posted last December to some
broadcast-oriented websites.

N. B. for/to REG EDWARDS (G4FQP): I hope that you will be motivated to
follow through on one or the other of these offers, and that you will post a
comparison of the results of your ready-to-run, "radial_3" DOS program as
compared to the BL&E datum, for equivalent conditions.

Link: Brown, Lewis & Epstein Paper on MW Ground Systems

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After some "back and forth," IEEE just gave me permission to post the
benchmark 1937 paper by Brown, Lewis and Epstein about MW ground systems.

Quite a few on RT and BC asked me earlier for this, but I had to hold off
until it was possible. Now I hope all those who asked will see this posting,
eventually, and view/download it from the link below. There are some
restrictions on its use, as shown in the PDF.

The file size is about 3.3 megs, so a fast connection will help.
