[Antennas] Need your opinions

[Brian Carling]

Jim, for your radials, you can use multi-conductor wire, like ROTOR cable and  
get coverage for several bands in those three "radials."

I am going to ground mount MY multiband vertical which is a Hustler 6BTV. I plan 
to use 4 radials for each of the higher bands and two each on 40m and 80m. The 
40m radials will work fine for 15m, so I only need 4 radials tuned to 30, 20, and 
10m bands, plus the 2 for 80m and 2 for 40m.
