[Elecraft] Question about vertical and radial placement

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

Buy, beg, borrow or ste.... ummm locate a copy of Les Moxon's, G6XN (SK),
book "HF Antennas
for All Locations". He provides some options that are worth considering. The
book covers a lot of possibilities for "small gardens", typical in the UK
and US.

Don't buy into the 43' vertical hype. It's a good compromise antenna with
limitations, particularly on 160/80/75 where top loading would be a much
better option.

For the money, a Hustler 5 BTV Antenna, 80-75/40/20/15/10M, HUS-5BTV, also
available from DXE is a good buy. If you find out you don't like the way the
vertical works, you haven't just dumped $800.

The other nice thing about the Hustler, is it makes a good platform to
"build your own" on, down the road.
