one of the biggest lies in the commercial antenna manufacturing industry with regard to vertical antennas is: NO RADIALS NEEDED. if you see this in advertising, don't walk but run away as fast as you can if you're looking for a high performance vertical antenna.

the manufacturers have no problem using the outer shield of your feedline as a lossy substitute for the missing "radials."
