[Antennas] Ground Planes

[Bob Wilder]

Let me set up the parameters.  I have a back yard some 50-75 ft by 
50-75ft.  I am going to have it resodded.  I want to go to Lowes or Home 
Depot and buy copper screening. , Roll it out and solder each section 
together.  After the screening is in place, it will be covered by sod.  It 
I put a mast in the center and bond it to the screen and place an all band 
vertical on the mast, will this satisfy the ground plane requirements of a 
vertical.   This would be great to anyone building a new home and in need 
of an excellent ground plane for a vertical.  Any comments would be 
appreciated and should help others on the reflector.
