Good Morning SJDXA,
I have a vertical for WSPR transmitter with buried radials (just under the grass
) , well when I was not home and the lawn service air raided the lawn. They put holes down to 3 inches. Most of the radials have been cut along with the feed line.
To rebure I would have to go down 4 to 5 inches and a trencher with cable feed only go down to 3 inches.
I feel it will be easier and safer to change to raised radials at 8 feet. Anyone have any experience with raised radials?
Thank you,
73,
Bob, W2ARP
