Guys
I just got done installing a 40/20/15/10 meter vert as a ground plane,,
mounted up at 15 Ft along side the top of my porch
with 12 or so non tuned radials on the roof and WOW ,, flat on all the
bands, with a SWR of under 1.2 to 1 and quite a DX antenna on 40
ran some coax up through the center if a Fiberglas pole to act as the 40
meter element and made PVC 8 inch stand offs
mounted on the pole to hold the 20/10 meter element
so what I got for 130 bux is a better antenna than the Mighty Fine Junk
stuff that is flat on all the bands
with full band coverage and as there are no traps works as a general SW
rcv antenna
always heard that above ground radials work better than on the ground and
at this location it plays very well

Hello Mike. My EFHW vertical is resonant only at 20 meters. The
*antenna* SWR is lousy everywhere else according to my MJF259 which
stops reporting at 25:1.
