Phased verticals on 80m

2 quarter-wave phased verticals (130° / 310°) according to Christman on 2 × 18 m Spiderbeam fibreglass poles. 30 radials of 10 m and 25 radials of 20 m per vertical, in total 10 λ of radials per vertical. Homemade.

Designed for 3.750 MHz, λ/4 (90°) = 20 m. Phasing lines:

Electrical length	Length in free space	λ/4 at	Cable length (velocity factor 0.82)
84°	18.66 m	4.01 MHz	15.30 m
71°	15.77 m	4.75 MHz	12.93 m

Phased verticals on 40m

2 × 2 quarter-wave phased verticals (150° / 330° and 60° / 240°) according to Christman on 4 × 12 m Spiderbeam fibreglass poles. 20 radials of 10 m per vertical, in total 5 λ of radials per vertical. Homemade.

Designed for 7.150 MHz, λ/4 (90°) = 10.48 m. Phasing lines:

Electrical length	Length in free space	λ/4 at	Cable length (velocity factor 0.82)
84°	9.78 m	7.66 MHz	8.01 m
71°	8.26 m	9.07 MHz	6.77 m
