Topband: Epsom salts & Rx Antennas

[Gary Smith]

The earlier discussion about Epsom Salts 
and Beverage grounds got me to thinking 
about my active antennas and if it might 
be helpful for my situation.

I have 8 antennas (the Hi-Z Pro 8 
element), the base of these acts as the 
ground rod. The soil conditions I had to 
put the bases in are markedly different 
from one another. Some of the bases are 
definitely in good soil but several of 
them are in such impossibly rocky ground 
that it took dozens of tries to get the 
rod 2' deep & with that, they were 
surrounded by stones from the top, down 
and there's very little soil around them.

I'm wondering if anyone has had a poor 
location for active antennas like these 
and used something like Epsom salts to 
help get a better ground.

If so, did it help you & how did you find 
it helped?

How did you apply it?

Thanks & 73,

Gary
