I'm just catching up reading this thread and have some questions:

What is the best way to feed a 1/2 wave or 5/8 wave vertical at ground
level?  I'm guessing a link coupled matching network would be better than an
L match and would perhaps obviate the need for a feedline choke?  What would
constitute an efficient 'ground' for such an antenna?  I assume the
requirement for lots of close in radials is not so important as it would be
for a 1/4 wave vertical?

I await any comments with interest.

Thanks and 73 Fraser G4BJM
