Hey to all,

Finely a subject I like, Antennas. I have a flag 
Pole in my front yard that is a great 20 meter 
vertical, it is an aluminum pole insulated from 
ground with a PVC sleeve, their is a nylon bolt 
that keeps it from bottoming out in the dirt, the 
coax is under ground, their are 36 radials just 
under the ground, and I run the lawn mower over 
the yard as if their was nothing there. I do not live 
in a restricted area but when I put the flag pole in
I was holding on to a nice piece of aluminum 
pipe, so lets make it radiate.
I have pictures of if anyone is interested, can we post 
attachments to the list?

73,
