Hi Jerry and group; To my knowledge, if the radials are on the roof the antenna also needs to be there. I think that generally if it is ground mounted you need ground radials.

How about running some wires along the ground and trying it = out, after that if it works, I could try to get them burried. Also about t= he cold, We haven't been in the fifties since new years eve, really odd for= us. Yesterday morning it was 19 degrees where I live. My above ground po= ol had ice on the top of it, also Sunday morning. Gery D.
