Antenna modeling for beginers-elevated radials.

  If you can't install a multiband ground radial system for your HF vertical antennas, why not try an elevated radial system? In this video, Callum (M0MCX) uses antenna modeling software to experiment with various radial configurations, including elevated wires. As Callum suggests, some elevated radial systems may improve antenna performance over ground radial wires.  You may find an elevated radial system works just as well better than what you had in the past. This video is part 4 of an extended study of ground-mounted vertical antennas.  Each chapter is worth keeping in your amateur radio library.

Here are some comments from Callum (M0MCX):: In this episode we take the ground mounted vertical from Part 3 and add elevated radials to see how the antenna behaves. Using MMANA-GAL, we...
