I had High Sierra make me up a set that are 25 ft. long 2 sets of 4 radials like the ones that come with the Sidekick and the tripod.

I haven't used them yet. But when we go up to Nevada later next month (August) I am going to try them. I put a 102" whip on the antenna and it works better than the 3ft mast. Tunes almost all of the band to below 1.5 seems good that way. I have about 500ft of wire on a spool and will make a couple of runs and see how they work out.
