Hey Booty, I don't know if that's how the RF sees it, but if I'm ever stuck using an A99 I'm going to just use a 5' fiberglass isolation pole and a choke about 26" down the coax from the A99 SO-239 connector.
Hopefully I'll have it high enough so the ground conductivity won't matter.
I'm still not convinced that a 1/2 wave needs or will even TOA benefit from the addition of 1/8-1/4 wave radials as long as it's isolated and given the minimum of .06wl counterpoise.
