This winter I put up a 90-foot Rohn 45 guyed tower -- partly to support my HF Yagis and partly to serve as my top-loaded 160-meter vertical. Because the ground was frozen by the time I could get arou

A couple of thoughts -- there are wire "staples" made for holding down landscape cloth that are ideal for this-- you can buy them in boxes of 500 or 1000 from suppliers like AM Leonard. With a bow to

Bud: I don't envy you and the work you'll be doing setting down your ground wires in that forest! But I can help with the staple idea. I have about a half-mile of various gauge radial wires in the gr

I have seen "staples" that are used for holding drip type irrigation hose down in your flower beds. Most likely available at Home Depot or Lowes.. Also may be something used to hold shrub bed edging

I make my own staples out of 14 Ga electric fence wire. It's real cheap from Farm N Fleet around here. I merely cut off about 7 inches and bend them over my hand. I then slightly bend the two legs ou

Bud - I've secured radials in a similar environment before. I used some large common nails, about 4" long and made a single wrap of the wire around the nail just under the head. A very slow process,

Burying radials is a tedious, tiring job indeed. I did it once and vowed never again. Since then, I've had good results with laying the radials down on top of the grass in the fall after the grass cu

Hi Bud and all; My answer to this problem was to cut 6" lengths of #12 wire (fence brace wire, light duty, from a farm supply store) and bend a small "U" at one end of each piece. I didn't try to str

I put down 240 radials for a 4-square on a piece of densly forested land that had been cleared for the purpose. There were lots of roots, stumps and debris. I used bare #16 copper wire. For staples,

Bud Another thought. Consider using 20d Galvanized Nails and 1/4" Fender Washers. The 20d nails are .150" dia. and 4" long. The 1/4" Fender Washer is 1-3/8" dia. and the hole is just .210 inches, or

That sounds like a #10 fender washer, although my catalog shows 1 1/4 max. od. 1/4" washers have a 9/32 hole. Perhaps your washers were mismarked? Bud Another thought. Consider using 20d Galvanized N

I used a power edger to cut a trench for some conduit. The edger can cut about 4-6 inches deep. Also, if you live in a snow covered area, lay the radials on the ground in November and roll them up in

In my case, the radials need to go down in a large field that gets brush hogged once a year (by early July the grass is knee-high.) After brush hogging I could cut the grass to the roots with a mower
