I bury scrap metal in my yard all the time. Does it help? I don't know, but it is metal which should be a better conductor for RF than my sand is in my yard...hi hi

Hi All,

I can't remember who it was told me years ago but I have always
considered it good practice to bond any substantial conductors (apart
from those carrying power or signals) to my RF ground. This has included
fence wires, unconnected pipework, guttering etc. Until recent times I
have also thought it more worthwhile from an amateur radio point of view
to bond and bury scrap copper piping from DIY plumbing projects rather
than to seek the scrap metal value - this philosophy may have to change!
