One of the most important ways to improve the performance of a HF vertical antenna is to install a ground radial or counterpoise system.  These extra wires help supply the "missing half" of the vertical antenna and improve the overall efficiency of your HF vertical antenna. In this video from "hamradiocrazy", we get a well done, informative tutorial on how to make and install a ground radial system for a HF vertical antenna--in this case the antenna is a Hustler 4BTV...lots of good ideas in this presentation.
