Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV): I found one of the best text Guides I have ever seen covering the topic of vertical antennas. Whilst it is aimed at 160 metres, much of it is applicable to all the HF bands. Let me take you to the link so that you can benefit from the excellent information provided.

  Thanks to Peter Waters (G3OJV) for this fascinating discussion on vertical antennas.  We also get a full tour of his garden, which serves as an antenna testing platform. Most of these antenna are easily-built using locally available materials.
