[Larry]

hi all,


living in Tucson where the ground conductivity is 15 (?) which would be the better receiving antenna?


300 foot BOG
300 foot BOG elevated 3-4 inches above earth
600 foot beverage 6 feet above ground 


note that i don't know what a lawn mower is either.

Oh, cactus plants, huh?  Your situation is simple - just tie the radial off to the cactus.

Problem solved.  Simple!

I want to see a barefoot child running around my cactus patch.  And what, pray
tell, is a lawnmower?

Imagine a barefoot child playing in the area (after you are SK possibly).  Imagine a lawn mower grabs a piece of radial wire and jerks it out of the ground with wire staples attached.
