Topband: RBOG installation

["James Denneny" <57jndenneny@comcast.net>]

My garden tractor lawn mower ate one of my RBOG's.  I thought 2.5 inch blade
height was sufficient but the updraft from the mower deck lifted the wire
into the blade.

 

Yes, I can raise blade cut to 3 inches.  I prefer a closer cut for neatness.
However, I am contemplating pinning the wire with DXE ground staples every 5
to 10 ft versus burying the wire an inch into the soil.  I am concerned the
latter approach might defeat signal reception.

 

Comments?
