Topband: Laying ground radials

[VK3HJ]

Thanks all.

I have located a supplier of 1.5 mm building wire for a similar price as 
mentioned. This will save me a couple hundred bucks and give me more robust 
wire.

I have been looking at the various sources for details of a suitable radial 
plow and will consider my options.

Close in to the base of the mast I will have to work out something to fill 
in the first metre or so radius, as the density of the radials will be too 
great to plow them in. Maybe I'll build a fence to exclude the stock and lay 
the first metre or so on top of the ground. I have a quantity of scrap earth 
wire that I may use for this purpose and solder the radial wires to this.

This will be a job for later in the winter, when I have time and resources 
to do this.
