Earlier I posted this idea, noted above, for a test on the A99 to 222, where I asked him to try and duplicate my idea. This thread belonged to NewYork714, so I decided to make my own thread on the subject for the A99, and it did not quite turn out like I had hoped.

The idea here is to test the A99 and see if the match noted on my VA1 antenna analyzer goes bad...if the antenna has both the feed line and the mast removed from the feed point...which is noted by many to essentially serve as the other 1/2 of the antenna, and be necessary for providing return currents for the antenna. I asked myself...what will happen if these return currents don't have radials...and we hear much discussion about this issue.

We frequently hear this claimed, and thought...could I prove otherwise.

Well, what I did is noted above.
