Topband: screen type ground systems

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Expanded copper mesh is simply the best hands down!  However, it is not
inexpensive.  But in the long run lasts for years.  I check a 50 x 50 foot piece
at a local BC station recently.  It had been laid down in 1976 and was still
intact even though many #6 radials were in poor shape.
