How large were the mats, and how were they laid out: in line with the
Beverages, or perpendicular?

In-line, or perpendicular to the Beverages?

I recall that on a much-earlier posting, you mentioned laying down a
pair of 120-foot radials on the ground at the far end, I presume
perpendicular to the Beverages; but I don't recall whether you said to
use the same at the feed end? And what about where you are using the
same pole as the beginning of several Beverages heading off into the
back-40?
