Hello Mike Here's one variation you might consider. Like you, I have a small lot, 60 wide by 100 ft long. The back yard is 60 by 24, and my 160m vertical is in the center of my back fence. I've arran

There is another "negative" aspect to using mesh, chicken wire, welded fencing, etc., in the ground system of verticals, and that is the losses these screens incur due to eddy currents created by the

produce Mesh should probably be used only as a ground reflection enhancer under a small elevated radial system, with the mesh connected to NOTHING. Since the inverse square formula is at work here,

In the late 80's I had 3 modest 160 antennas installed. One system was a Butternut vertical with the 160 kit. I used 15 rolls of chicken wire. Each roll was 3-4 ft wide, 100 ft long. The rolls joined

-- Dave and all, Mesh conductors are not a significant problem. Radar and satellite antennas often use perforated reflectors to save weight. At the lower 'microwave' frequencies, grid reflectors are

My apologies on this - the search capability for Ham radio magazine and NCJ is not yet available to members, just internally to ARRL. It needs some further checking before being released. -- Tom Try

In response to my query about using wire fence such as chicken wire for a ground screen under a Four Square elevated radial system, VE3NH told me that there was a good article a few years back in Ham

I have seen more than one reference to adding solid plates or disks under verticals. ON4UN's Low Band book states "a solid metal plate of reasonable size right under antenna (vertical) can result in

The comprehensive RCA funded study's conclusion was that adding a screen does nothing for efficiency if the installation has even a modest radial ground system. You can find measured comparisons in

What is the consensus on the longevity of galvanized screen versus copper radials? I am about to move to a small lot (50 x 100) which is mostly covered with house (40 x 50) and I need to try to figur
