[R-390] Useful items

Yeah... but that assumes there's a lawn! It's pretty bare back
there-although I WILL be using DX Engineering's staples.

I lay the radials on the ground and secure them with "sod staples" (U shaped
metal wires) In a week or two they disappear into the lawn.

Good luck with the project

Yeah, but that's a 'process'. The little flags will do nicely when cutting
new very small 'slices of dirt' to slip a wire into to avoid other
wires-especially when I get at what will be sort-of crush points where
multiple radials go around things. But that could be very useful under some
circumstances-especially if I'm fooling around after the 1st 24 are in the
ground and the flags are removed.

Introduce a few watts of RF into the antenna and a grid-dip meter in
wavemeter mode can find buried radials.
