news I haven't installed it mostly because I haven't received an Alpha Delta
dipole, which is on backorder, which I plan to hang at the same time.
And since there is trench digging involved, there is no reason to dig 2
trenches, days or weeks apart. That and getting help to run and get
tools or such, and putting them in a rope and bucket, so I don't have to
climb down. Better to knock off 2 birds with one stone.

I will provide pictures of Ninnies antenna farm,
just like steveo does of Leland and doug's.

Why should that bother anyone?

Horizontal radials work simply as a ground plane/counterpoise while radials
that are angled down and out at a 45 degree angle combine the benefits of a
counterpoise with a impedance matching network to lower the input impedance
of the antenna to a more friendly 50~ output impedance of the transmission
line......P.S. Hello to those of you that remember me from way back ans as

OK, I purchased the Imax-2000 which is a 5/8 wave antenna. There are 2
options
for a ground plane kit:

1. First is a four fiberglass 6 foot radials, angled down (appears 45
degrees),
as seen he

2. This is another kit. It has four aluminum 7 foot radials. This is
horizontal,
and not angeled, as seen he

Which one would be better?

Thank you and please stay. This newsgroup isn't bad at all with the use of a
killfile.

Imax is a piece of garbage. Get a dipole.
