 Hi All,  

 I am  a little confused about the antenna regulation .It seems most
guys are using some sort of top loaded vertical.Are they using a
radial system I wonder?If so how do you the radials ,antenna
,horizontal tophat and feedline all within the 50 foot restriction?
The way Im reading the rule , the ground system and feedline are
included in the total length .Am I missing something or is everyone
just fudging it? Im justgetting started in this lowfer thing  .I live
in the Pocono mountains in PA so I dont have ideal ground  conduction
.I know Ill need a decent  ground system but if it adds to my total
antenna length, my vertical will be not very  vertical.  

 Also; are you guys mounting your transmitters remotely at the
antenna base to get rid of the feedline?  
                         Thanks !
