Rebuild Quarter Wave

The quarter-wave ground plane antenna in the tree disconnected in the wind, so I brought it back down and rebuilt it stronger with radials passing through the holes and woven together. I used randomly shorter radials, but 8 of them this time. I watched the SWR drop with the nanoVNA as I added radials. I resoldered the driven element into the socket and trimmed it to tune it again.
