I've had lots of good responses regarding putting radials out to the
front yard. I'm going to run radials around to the front of the
house, possibly by putting a perimeter wire around the house.
I'd like to make some field strength measurements while I'm working on
it; I'm not worried about absolute measurements; I just want to make
some relative ones.
There's a park across the road from me... I think I can get up to 5
wavelengths away from my antenna. (I keep thinking that I should have
a north-pointed beverage along the river but I doubt the Maryland
National Capital Parks and Planning Commision would appreciate that)
My gut feeling is that 5 wavelengths is sufficient for good relative
comparisons. I doubt I can get further away. Closer would be more
convenient for me. How far away is far enough?
