Ah ha!!! Another question already...since this isn't a turnable antenna, which direction do I want to orient the radials? Or (don't laugh...at least I'm thinking...maybe thinking wrong, but thinking) can I have another set of radials on the same antenna oriented 90 degrees from the first ones?

If so...4 strips of copper in the ugly balun, all connected to a single coax conductor? Two original strips connected to one side of ladder wire and the two additional copper strips connected to the other side of the ladder wire, and brought together at the radio end of the ladder with into a short length of coax?

Or just do it like the article and quit trying to out think myself?
