Hi,

I've recently shunt-fed my tower for 160m (and 80m).  Now comes the time 
to lay down the radials.  My backyard is approximately 35ft x 30ft with
the tower in the middle.  Should I lay down wire radials cut for 160m
(and 80m), string them out straight as far as possible, and then have
them overlap?  Should I lay them out straight to the fence and then cut 
them (i.e. no overlap)?  Or should I lay down as much chicken wire as
possible?

Responses should be directed to me and if there is enough interest I'll
post a summary.
