[TowerTalk] Long wire - remote tuner - radials

All,

I have an ICOM AH-4 remote tuner that I'm going to mount remotely inside 
a shed that's 20 feet from the shack. I plan on using 100 feet or so of 
wire in an L configuration. The vertical section will be just under 30 
feet (supported by a PVC mast) and it will rise to 50 feet to a tree.

The radial system will have to be a compromise; I have a choice of 
running a bundle of radials in one direction along a vinyl fence or 
wrapping the same bundle around the 8 x 12 shed. I was wondering which 
would yield the best results?

The antenna will be used for 160M through 30M.

Thanks,

Tony
