Four elevated radials also should work. Elevated tuned radials do work. If you are using a multiband vertical, it can make the yard look a little funny though. My vertical is 6 bands, so I opted for buried radials, and given that the antenna was not too far from a corner of the yard, they were really random in length. Some over a hundred feet, some only around 20. This probably meant that the antenna wasn't quite as efficient in a few directions as others. Overall it worked pretty well. |
