I have the three element also and use
fiberglass poles with wire taped to the
pole for my elements. The ground rod here
was the bane because of the rocky new
england soil but I found three places for
them to go down at the proper distance
apart.
As an added benefit to top band's benefit,
even as high as 10M, these antennas often
work as well or better than my roof
mounted tribander. I transmit with the
tribander and listen with the Hi-Z Rx
antenna. Not always as good but sometimes
it's decidedly better than the Triband Rx
& vert Tx on the warc bands.
