[TowerTalk] radials 160

[StellarCAT]

I stand corrected - I just found an EZ Trench Cable Installer that is 
available - at Home Depot! Only one store has it - but hey - that is great.

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
