Hi Adrian, Unless you're blessed with soft loamy soil that cuts easy, I would hazard to guess that any way you go will be hard work. If you have nice soft loam you can use a "sled" like in ON4UN's bo

I have installed a number of radial systems for myself and some local friends. The north Florida grasses are a little different, being the type that grows like a vine, setting down roots every few in

My lot is very different. It's not densely vegetated. More like forest, with sparse vegetation. I use smaller, insulated wire, and have found a very easy way to lay the wires close to the ground. Al

When I lived in Florida on 1/2 acre, Louis, I started out with a 50' tall Marconi (flat-top was an 80 meter dipole) using 4 elevated radials and 100 watts. It didn't work all that well. Later, I adde

Hi all and thanks for all the help on how deep to bury radials. My question this time - I am going to put in a 4 square and following ON4UN's book 4th ed page 11-85 states that it is standard procede

Totally agreed on interconnection of radials. The half as long comment was only made to show wire would be wasted in my opinion if they were not bus style interconnected. They would be totally overla

Thanks to copper speculators, wire is no longer cheap, but it still costs a LOT less than a power amp (or the electricity to run the amp). Use what you have, but don't stop at 75 ft of "found" wire -

Hi Brendan, You'll have an arcing problem if you lay chicken wire directly on radials with no insulation. You could avoid this if you bond the radials to the outer edge of the chicken wire, but this

I would shoot for 60 1/4 wl on the ground (like W3LPL says). This will be "very close to" optimum and the losses in the near field will be well below 1 dB. Anything less is going to be "dB down". Mea
