Some pretty sharp engineers disagree with this advice. Rob Sherwood, 
NC0B, first published on the usefulness of galvanized ground screen in 
1977, and talked about it in presentations in the Dayton Antenna Forum 
in 2008 and 2009. Rob  is best known for his work on quantifying the 
receive performance of modern HF rigs. Like anything making contact with 
the chemical makeup of soil and local moisture at any given QTH, 
materials that work in one location may not work in another.
