Linked Elevated Radial System: Game-Changing Antenna Performance

What could be better than the magic carpet, or the window screen ground network for your vertical antenna? Dave, KZ9V, joins me to show you his faster deployment of an elevated radial system that puts ground radials to shame.

UPDATE: I'd like to make a correction and an acknowledgement to this video:

The formula for a 1/4 wave radiator is: Length in feet = 234 / Frequency in Mhz. This will give you the dimensions for the whip and radial lengths on your preferred operating frequencies. In the video the numbers in the formula were inverted. I apologize for the error.

I'd also like to acknowledge, Greg KJ6ER, and his POTA PERformer vertical antenna. Dave's design of the linked radial is similar , but developed independently, from Greg's. Greg's plans go into more detail and have some antenna modeling plots that are helpful. You can contact Greg for the plans here: https://www.qrz.com/db/KJ6ER or find them online in the Parks on the Air Facebook group:   / 3129040974053415
