GROUND SCREEN (RADIALS)

by Rob Sherwood, NC0B

Rob Sherwood is a huge fan of using ground screens with verticals -

not instead of radials, but in addition to radials.

In 2009, Rob gave a presentation on this topic during the Antenna Forum at Dayton.

Rob orginally wrote an artical on this subject, which was published in the May, 1977 edition of Ham Radio magazine. The title of the artical was "Using a ground screen to compliment or replace a radial system."

Even though it is old and dusty, it is still very valid.

You can download the presentation and the original artical from HR below.
