Hi Jorge,

in one of the ARRL Antenna Compendium there was a guy who
simply bought a truckload of ground?? and put it over
the radial  filed :) Spread  with showel, add some grass seed and
voila :)

I like that solution, although never tried..

Hi Herb

This will be ideal!

Is just n idea or you know about it? Some photos?

no rocks, only grass and agricultural land, could make a channel with a
shovel, but I'm looking for something more practical for many radial

Thanks,
Jorge

Probably the best item for installing radials is a small vibrating plow on
the back of a lawn tractor.  Dig only one hole. put in the blade and the
radial wire on a spool above is fed through a hole in the hollow plow blade
which effortlessly drives along unspooling the wire and leaving only a small
slit in the ground which disappears in days.
However, it doesn't work well in rocky terrain. Some people I have heard use
a chain saw but you must be very careful with that method.

Hello



I think there´s a tool to make a line in the ground to put radials.



Couldn´t find it in website, don´t know the name in English



Could you please help me to find it or send me close up photos of
yours to try to ask someone locally to make one?



Thanks in advance
