Height of tower.


Approximately 30 feet.

Length of vertical radiator.


22 feet.

Number and length of radials.


4 x 22 feet.

Any loading coils?


No, an SGC-230 at the base.

Imagine what might happen if the radials were removed.


I imagined that and got very high angle radiation on
some bands. The tower becomes part of the radiator.
