[TowerTalk] Ground Radials

[jmltinc at aol.com]

Hi all,
 
After some sound advice from the folks on the Topband reflector, I have decided to install on or in ground radials for a shunt fed vertical (rather than elevated radials). I know that within a year, wire pinned to the ground will "disappear".
 
My lawn however, is dethatched every year. While I can forego this process for a year or two, eventually it will have to be done. The dethatcher is a tow behind unit weighted down to about 200 pounds with 1/8" tines that scratch the grass (and the earth too!). Additionally, the lawn is core areated.
 
Anyone have experience with this? Buried radials my only option here?
 
Thanks,
John, N9RF
