[SMCARA] Antenna Setup

[Daniel Metcalf]

Bill,

I was already thinking of burying the coax just because I don't want is
cut when my wife decides she wants to mow the lawn. But that is an
interesting concept to go deeper than the current setup. Right not the
vertical antenna's feed line and radials are buried an inch to an inch
and a half in the ground. Maybe going three inches while traversing the
radial field. Obviously I am going to have pull up the current radials
and the rebury then but at least the channels are already cut so that
part should be easy. Might be worth a shot after some more reading maybe
a current balun might be what is needed to make this work.

Thanks Bill ... Great thought.
