[Antennas] Verticle grounding

[Ron W7MRR]

Larry:

   You certainly have a DC ground, but not clear as to whether or not it is an effective substitute for a radial system.  The easiest way to make this determination is to mount a vertical on top of it and try it out!  Please share the results with us.

Subject: [Antennas] Verticle grounding

I have a situation that may prove very interesting. I have an abandoned well<br>with steel 6" casing that is within 50Ft of my new home. I have made a steel<br>fitting in the shape of a cross that just fits the ID of the casing and a<br>fitting to mount a vertical too. I can hook the together for a good solid<br>connection. The casing goes down approx. 375 feet. What have I got here,<br>just a great DC ground or a super place to attach radials.<br><br>Larry<br>KW4A<br><br><br>- - - <br><br>Your moderator for this list is:<br>Larry Wilson KE1HZ antennas-owner at mailman.qth.net<br>_______________________________________________<br>Antennas mailing list<br>Antennas at mailman.qth.net<br>http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/antennas<br>
