RE: [TCML] Counterpoise Dimensions

Generally yes, especially if the counterpoise is sitting on the ground.  If
it is, then the capacitive coupling to ground is the same for either case.

Subject: [TCML] Counterpoise Dimensions

Hi Everyone,
A few more quick questions about counterpoises; The formula used to  
estimate the size of the counterpoise is circle radius = topload  
height. Can the counterpoise be really long and skinny rather than  
square/circular? Say 2x8 opposed to 4x4?
