Elevated radials 2-3' off the ground at 30-45 degree angles has always been the secret to high performance with verticals. Did some tests 5 years ago with an S9 and on -ground radials; then 3' off

My thanks to all valuable comments and thoughts. I will have to research Mel's PAC-12 vertical. My EFHW has done a Youmans job in the field. I just like to look at alternatives to throwing a line
