I am getting ready to (finally) finish my 160m 4-square array and
also build a companion 80m model (using the just-introduced Array
Solutions self-supporting 80m verticals).
Hearing about the KC1XX (and other) array and its mix of elevated
radials and a ground screen has convinced me to give it a try.
I'm not especially keen to spend a week on my knees soldering
wires in a grid and then burying the wires to keep them away from
field mowers and animals. Is there any reason I can't just lay
out heavy duty rolled wire fence sections on the ground under and
around my 4 towers?
Will galvanized steel fence work? Will I need to bond the
different rolls of fence sections together? Or is there a
commercial wire mesh I should use? It would be fairly EZ to lay
out the fence sections and then push some dirt over the whole
thing with a small tractor.
