[Elecraft] Antenna for K1/K1-4+KAT1

[Martin.Evans@simoncarves.com]

Hi Guys, I'm hoping to get a 125 feet long wire up in the garden at about
30 feet off ground. Gonna match it with KAT1 ATU. K1-4 is 40/30/20/15m. How
important is it to use ground radials. Also, do I need a separate RF earth
at only 5W QRP? (TVI??). K1 ground will be connected to mains power earth
via power supply. The mains power earth to house is via u/g cable (steel
armour in contact with ground) so will be a good connection to mass of
earth.

I can put some copper in the ground if necessary for separate RF earth but
don't want to make work for myself if I don't need to since I'm only using
5W CW.

Any thoughts?
