Hello Don. How do you have your verticals arranged/phased?

You can find them in the archives. My radial fields are made of insulated wire. All 180 radials under my 3 40m verticals are insulated wire, and, in the near future, all 180 radials under my 3 80m verticals will be insulated wire. Performance speaks for itself.
