Re: LF: the use of long radials

[Rik Strobbe <Rik.Strobbe@fys.kuleuven.be>]

Dick,

if it is meant for the LX-expedition:
I found out that, probably due to the many trees near the antenna, the  
loss resistance did not improve when increasing the number of radials  
beyond the initial 4 x 30m (I gave up at 8 radials of 30m each).
