Hi Paul.
I'm using a phased array on 40 with 3 verticals. There is a big tree
about 15 feet from the S.E. vertical and it doesn't seem to affect it
much. I have all my radials laying on the ground. Some of them are
laying right on top of the scrub-brush. After a while the radials work
their way down to the ground. I put galvanized fence wire down for the
first bunch of radials and they are just about all rusted away. I
replaced most of them with insulated number 14 wire and it has held up
real well. Good luck with with the new antenna!
