Waiting till the last minute, isn't that when the best antennas are put =
up?
My question - what would be suitable for radials for my 80 meter Rohn 25 =
+ tubing full size vertical? Is there any problem with using =
uninsulated copper? Such as 20 ga? I plan on a minimum of 64 1/4 wave =
radials laid right on the ground. I am counting on the grass covering =
them up next season. =20
