[TowerTalk] radials 160

[Hardy Landskov]

Sunbelt Rentals in Orlando, FL  rents an EZTrench that digs the hole, lays the coax and then covers it back up. I don't know what it costs. My problem is trying to get it here since it's 70 miles away.

if you do find something please let us all know - I'm not aware of anything that is available to rent for this purpose.

There is a machine similar to an edger that electricians use to cut the trench and insert the wire all in one pass.  I think you can rent them. 
Maybe even at Home Depot.  Might be worth buying one…

All winter I have been clearing out a large area to put radials down for a
160 meter antennaI built an antenna which looks like a T between two 90 foot towersThe vertical leg is 65 feet and the horizontal is the same.
I used it with only a few radials and was pleased with contacts to the west coast from Pa.So here is my questionWhat type of tool can I use to bury the radials an inch or so.My problem is there are quite a few surface rocks that I will have to deal with.Does Home Depot or Lowe's have something ?I was even just thinking about using a pic and draging it backwards Preferable no motors due to the rocksThanksHerb K2LNS _______________________________________________
