Topband: tool for install radials

[Fortra]

Hi Jorge,

in one of the ARRL Antenna Compendium there was a guy who
simply bought a truckload of ground?? and put it over
the radial  filed :) Spread  with showel, add some grass seed and
voila :)

I like that solution, although never tried..

Hi Herb

This will be ideal!

Is just n idea or you know about it? Some photos?

no rocks, only grass and agricultural land, could make a channel with a
shovel, but I'm looking for something more practical for many radial

Thanks,
Jorge

Probably the best item for installing radials is a small vibrating plow on
the back of a lawn tractor.  Dig only one hole. put in the blade and the
radial wire on a spool above is fed through a hole in the hollow plow blade
which effortlessly drives along unspooling the wire and leaving only a small
slit in the ground which disappears in days.
However, it doesn't work well in rocky terrain. Some people I have heard use
a chain saw but you must be very careful with that method.
