[Elecraft] Question about vertical and radial placement

[eric manning]

If you use a center-fed vertical [like the Sigma 5 I have] you don't 
need radials at all. It's just a half-wave dipole
stood up on end.
Much better than the old-fashioned quarter-wave  vertical with all its 
problems of ground losses.
Needs to be center loaded for 40 but 33 feet is a full half-wave on 20.
