[TowerTalk] 160 M vertical and snow.

[Bob Maser]

Since radials laying on the ground are not length sensitive, and elevated 
radial ARE length sensitive,  I would say that you should just lay them on 
the ground and let the snow do whatever it wants.  Elevating them gets you 
into all kinds of problems.  Just lay out about 75 radials and start 
talking.
