Some pretty sharp engineers disagree with this advice. Rob Sherwood, NC0B, first published on the usefulness of galvanized ground screen in 1977, and talked about it in presentations in the Dayton Antenna Forum in 2008 and 2009. Rob is best known for his work on quantifying the receive performance of modern HF rigs. Like anything making contact with the chemical makeup of soil and local moisture at any given QTH, materials that work in one location may not work in another.
