17 Meter 1/4 GP Vert - 4 More Radials

Just added 4 more radials to my 17m vertical now I have the minimum of 8.  Probably gained somewhere around a db but thats a pretty cheap db!   Checked the VSWR prior to adding the radials and after and was pleased with the results so much so that I am going to add another 4 radials to the 40m,  30m and 20m verticals that I recently built.

Freq              before the addition of radials          after the addition
18.0                          1.25:1                                         1.05:1
18.068                      1.25:1                                           1:1    WOW!
18.2                          1.3:1                                            1.1:1
