[OKDXA] Zero Five Multi-Band Vertical, Full Radial Plate, and Array Solutions ZF-MB-5K Balun Ordered

[N5PA]

I just got finished ordering my Zero Five 43 Foot Multi-Band Vertical, Full
Radial Plate, and the Array Solutions ZF-MBalun-5K Balun.  The antenna will
ship tomorrow and the balun will ship today.  I am going to Lowe's this
evening after work and buy a bunch of wire for the radials.  Hopefully in a
couple of weeks I will be on the air with the new vertical on 160-10 meters
with my Ameritron AL-1500 in line.  DX should be easier to work with this
setup.  No traps or coils, I just have to put down a lot of radials.  I want
to have it on the air before the Rwanda DXpedition comes up.  So I will be
busy running radials.  He told me to get a one foot square copper plate and
soldering a #8 wire to it and throw it out in my pond and it should add
extra grounding to the system.  I am going to put four 8 foot ground rods at
the base to add to the grounding.  I should hit the water table since it is
so close to the pond.  So hopefully in a few weeks I should have a decent
signal on the bands and I should be able to work DX a lot better than I can
know.
