Hi John Lots of real estate is not necessary for a 100 ft vertical antenna, about 6ft x 6ft concrete base but the average telescopic tower base is about 1 sq ft. and does not require guys for wire antennas. One insulated radial running around the garden enclosure will work well. against a base loaded or gamma matched mast.

If you are happy with you crystal set why change. Any radio amateur serious about LF activities needs a farm or ranch of some sort!!!!!!!! G3KEV > > John Andrews, W1TAG > > > >
