Simple Ham Radio Antennas--Ham Radio MARS Counter Poise Ground Saturn Dipole Antenna
If you're having trouble viewing this video, please insert this title link into your search box: https://youtu.be/J9a1mAAtSbE. This easy to understand video from http://www.radiowavz.com shows how adding a simple counterpoise or radial ground system can greatly enhance the quality of an antenna. A good ground radial system is especially important for vertical antennas, since the radial system supplies "the missing half" of a vertical antenna system. The intent of the video is to show that radials do make a difference in antenna performance. I'll cover the "nuts and bolts" of ground radial systems in a future post. But, for now, this video gives you an indication of just how important a ground radial system is to most antennas. For the latest Amateur Radio news and events, please check out the blog sidebars.
