Hello Kevin and LFers, Thanks for the information about these ground mounted antennas. I've always thought of trying one so perhaps now is the time. I believe Finbar uses 120m and 100m versions. Fed
In my sked last night with Finbar (best conditions for some weeks) we discussed mini-beverage antennas laid directly on the ground. I've done a Google trawl and there's a bit evidence that they work
