w2aew | #375: Ham Radio Quickie: Ground Radial wires vs. the "Magic Carpet" Faraday cloth @w2aew | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Just a quick video to document my quick comparison of portable vertical antenna VSWR sweeps using my ground radials vs. a conductive fabric mat, often called a "magic carpet". Note that these results are specific to my antenna configuration, your results may vary. I kept "everything" constant/unchanged between the two configurations to get an apples-to-apples comparison.
