Dear all.
In my experience, as in all amateur installations, you have to experiment to
get the best result! At home in the city, on good clay soil, earth stakes
didn't seem to help much but radials did. The greatest help was to bond all
the incoming service pipes, water, gas and mains earth (all underground)
together.
In Scotland the best results were obtained by running as many surface wires
as I could to wire fences around the area, earth stakes achieved absolutely
nothing in the poor soil.
The ultimate aim is to maximise the antenna current by any means.... more
power Igor!
