Don: This sounds like a great device for laying radials. Tell us more about the blade. Does it roll or drag through the soil? Is it made from a piece of plate or was it originally another attachment?

Spacing does not really affect takeoff angle. Takeoff angle is totally dependent upon height above ground. If you have optimum spacing, the takeoff angle will be the same as an antenna mounted 1/2 wa
