Jim, my Eznec model of the Maco V58 shows strong currents on the radials. I have also heard plenty of chatter on the Internet about this idea, and I'm not sure what is right or not.

I once put my Starduster with radials up about 8'- 9' above my vertical 4 element horizontal yagi, and the SR'r radials ended up real close to the yagi elements.

I saw no difference in the match on either antenna.

The radials on the SD'r were mostly vertical and on the V58 the radials are horizontal, so I figure that may make a difference when TTT gets to check is results.

TTT, be sure and keep us posted.
