I’m about to build and test an 80 meter qtr wave vertical antenna with elevated radials. I am assuming that one can build the radials smaller if you use a loading coil? Anyone ever tried this? I’ll post the results here.
Thanks to Dave, W8NF; he confirms that one can load elevated radials just as one would load up both sides of a dipole.

I have just bought 2 x slinkys from Maplins. They appear smaller than the “old fashioned” ones but it should be fun making an antenna. I’ll try and stretch them out and see what they do.
I’d be interested in knowing what you did with your slinky. Anyone built a vertical?
