[Antennas] Mesh vs Radials for Ground Plane

Wed Apr 6 09:53:10 EDT 2005

Thanks for the comments on using mesh for a ground plane. Almost everyone 
said to steer away from mesh for several reasons.
1. Expensive
2. Deteriate to rapidly
3. Radials just as effective
Thanks again for comments..Will go with 60-75 radials
