An exceptionally well-made video from "The Smokin' Ape" about the theory behind and the practical uses of ground planes for vertical antennas.
Ground planes and their close cousins the ground radial system and the counterpoise, are essential to maximizing the efficiency of your 1/4 wave vertical antenna system.
"The Smokin' Ape uses a good deal of humor and down-to-earth examples as he takes us through the world of ground plane antennas. We all can learn something from this outstanding video!
