I used a very long radial (300m) in a field outside my home, but it
had little effect and did not improve on my few earth stakes.
On portable expeditions to GW, I have used radial wires with some
success, especially where the soil was poor.
I suggest you use two or three earth stakes (perhaps 1m long) close
to the bottom of the vertical section, then one or two wires under
the top section.
I agree with Alan that the biggest problem most expeditions have is
with receiving.
Will you have e-mail available on site? This can be useful for sked
and activity news.
