hi i am after some advice on wether putting a full size 1/4 wave groundplane on my thunderpole 5/8th wave antenna with 12 inch radials would improve the antenna
I tend to keep it simple. I like maco 5/8 ground plane and for $100 or so you cant go wrong. As far as a Frankenstein antenna, I cant really help there but im sure someone here can.
He's asking about this antenna.

If the gp wasn't in the original design then I don't see any improvement in adding them.

Physics would like a word with you. The reason CBs got a reputation for causing TV interference was precisely because of a lack of ground planes.
