[TowerTalk] Radial field question Single radial wires vs mesh and more

[Kevin Kidd]

I can't entirely disagree with this but I have worked on enough AM sites
where someone used steel (galvanized or not) in/on the ground and it has
been very short lived.  Everything from galvanized guy wire to galvanized
high tensile horse wire to electric fence wire to chicken wire to
UNgalvanized crane cable.

None (as in zero) have been successful even in the mid-term.  At least in a
broadcast related term.

For a temporary install.  OK.  Or if you can keep it off/out of the ground.
OK.
