only got to ‘antenna number 1’ yesterday, but found interesting & useful results using my little RigExpert analyzer 🎉
at that geo-location, with those soil conditions, & on 20 meters:
a) whether or not you (garden fabric) nail the radials to the ground makes a big difference (do it)
b) at least 1 radial is needed, having 2 (Y pattern) makes a significantly positive difference, & having 3 (cross) makes only a marginal difference
c) radial length makes a significant difference
