[80m] Elevated radials for 80M

[mperrin@ordata.com]

Bill, 

If you truly do not want to be offensive, you should avoid such gratitious
criticism.  In fact your next sentence after your criticism is guilty of
the same thing you oppose .... "I can work DXCC on 80 with a G5RV."  Maybe
from W4 you can do that, but not from the West Coast, especially north of W6.

My comments were to encourage Larry to try something; have fun.  What about
you?
