[BC] Ground system

[Tom Spencer]

Isn't the point where the bottom of the tower is?  :-D   .. At least for 
a uniform cross-section tower?

Seriously, from what I've read, these proposals seem to be awfully close 
to a Franklin antenna.  Not exactly a Franklin, but very similar; 
quarter-wave elements instead of half-wave...

I'd always heard that to get free-space performance out of a dipole, it 
had to be several wavelengths above earth ground.  Which would be kinda 
hard to do at lambda = 300 meters.
