[KCDXC] Vertical

[Bob Roske]

Hi Bill,

When I lived in Gladstone I used a ground mounted  AP-8 with 3 radials for 
80 and 3 more for 40.  They were not buried in straight lines

>From the time I installed it in 1993 until I took it down to move in 2005 I 
worked 200+ countries with 62  of them being on 80 meters.  I also worked 
200+ IOTA, 1000 Counties, 5BWAS and 6 Qs during a 160 meter contest.  Yep, 
it loaded real well!  However the other station needed to be at least 5 7 or 
they just didn't hear me.  The 100 watts I was running didn't help either.

gl with your selection.

73,
Bob N0UF
