Comment from a customer: Feb 14, 2018

Hello, just want to say that I love my antenna. Have had it about a year now and very pleased with the performance. I would like to know how would ground radials affect performance? How many would I need to add and what length. I know this will probably depend on operating frequencies. I have also used the antenna on 2 meters and it performs well using LDG-1000 Pro II antenna tuner. Any and all information and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank You again for a great product that I can utilize on all bands"
