Thanks to Mike (M0MSN) for this interesting antenna experiment. Mike wanted to know if buried radials emit EMF. Mike concluded that his buried radial system didn't transmit any detectable signals. Here are some general comments from Mike: I purchased a cheap EMF Tester from eBay just to see if I was compliant with the new EMF rules. One of the burning question I have is. "Do you measure the safe working distance of a ground feed vertical from the feed point or the end of the ground radials"? A lot of work has been done on this subject none of which is conclusive, so I thought I would give it a go and try to show if GROUND RADIALS, RADIATE. There are NO issues with mobile phones or their chargers, Ground radials DO NOT radiate that was my point! Disclaimer: I am no
