160m ANNOUNCEMENT - 29 March 2013

I have just completed an inspection of my radial field used in conjuction with the 160m vertical antenna. The radial field was laid out on waste ground (desert) to the back of my QTH. Much to my surprise I've found that all the radials have been cut and removed at the point of connection to the earth rods. This is likely to have a significant impact on my 160m signal. I will be leaving Bahrain at the end of August 2013 and had planned to decommission the 160m vertical before mid April 2013 to take account of the cooler temperatures. It may now be earlier since I will not spend any time replacing the radial field, which has been compromised on several occasions in the past by wild-dogs and miscreant-humans.
