Mike R,

Great! Can you just pull it up in place with the existing #12?

Sorry about the lack of a reply to the ground screen question. I intended to 
do this. My theory is that it is not needed due the soil acting as a fairly 
good ground plane at 185k without it. At higher frequencies like 160M band 
it may have some benefit as was reported in one of the recent revisions of 
the ARRL Antenna book. This has to do with the formation of the gigantic 
wave from the loop covering about a mile peak to peak at our frequencies.
