Hi all,

Going to be moving my ground mounted HF6V up to the roof this spring.

Should I keep the same radial length 1/4 wave (468 div by freq) or is there
a different formula for elevated radial lengths?

Thanks

Hi John,

Ground mounted is not very sensitive to lengths; in the air, this is
another story. Cut long and trim to tune.

John;

468/f(MHz) is for a 1/2 wave dipole.
Try 240 or 246/f(MHz) for radials.
