[Antennas] Ground radials

Thu, 18 Apr 2002 22:19:17 -0400

The aluminum wire sold for 'clothesline' works wonderfully .. it's easy
to cut with a pair of side-cutters.
I cut it into pieces about 6" long .. bend them with my fingers [easy to
do] and use them to hold down the radial wires.  Mine were put in in
December, 1988, and are still there!
