Pete shared his recent experiences with a POTA PERformer vertical antenna. He went to a local park and took a bunch of pictures. He was doing WSPR testing and showed a report from WSPRNet. His results were good and he is convinced that the elevated radials greatly improve the vertical antenna performance. Ernie mentioned that Buddipole uses one elevated radial and recommends going to the Buddipole web site. K6ARK has videos on different ways to connect the radial wires. Steppir has information on elevated radials on their web site.

During the open forum anyone can take the floor. We will go one by one until all have had a chance to have the floor. Files, pictures and presentations can be shared if you have any. Please try to stay muted when someone has the floor.
