[Antennas] question about a 6BTV

[Chris Boone]

IF I had the room, I would run at least 4 radials for each band....(Use flat
rotor wire...easy to do with it!)...More would be better for ground mount 

OR elevate the base 10+ft and run just 4 radials on the lowest band in
question (been there, done that and it worked as the specs called for)

OF course, more may be better...but then where does the return of
improvements start to diminish?? (Check out Cebik.com for the
vertical/radial articles....his data supports my above)
