The loop is finished, but I'm having a devil of a time getting a ground
rod in at the base. It's been over a month since the last rain here,
and the soil is really hard. Seems like I read someplace that you could
substitute a couple of 50-foot on the ground radials for a ground rod if
necessary. True?
PS even without the ground, or the feedline chokes, directivity seems
pretty good on high AM BC stations.
Any advice much appreciated.
