Re: Topband: Adding chicken wire or mesh on top of radial field

[Rob Atkinson <ranchorobbo@gmail.com>]

for permanent installation it's a waste of time because thin wire
steel mesh (chicken fence mesh) will rust away in most ground in a
short time.

Recommend copper mesh but professionally it only seems to be employed
around the base pier of voltage fed towers.  For a current fed tower a
lot of radials near the feed point, >= 90, is good enough.
