Thank you for your detailed and well thought out review of earthing - 
the experimental results were especially interesting. I am intrigued 
about loaded radials in that the loading is effectively supplied by the 
inductor in the ATU circuit. There was no sign that such an approach 
worked on my last trip but possibly the inductance was insufficient. I 
am looking forward to my next 500kHz outing - 10GHz has taken priority 
recently.
