I still think you have something mounted to the ground within reach of
small children. Bad dad.

For the record: I sank a length of 2" steel pipe into the ground
against a fence. I bolted the tuner to the pipe at adult eye level.
The tuner and pipe were grounded via an 8ft ground rod. The vertical
portion of the end-fed wire above the tuner was fully insulated
electrically to the 10ft AGL level. We didn't have many ten foot kids
hanging out in the Kelly family's back yard sandbox in those days.

My endfed works just fine - thanks for all of your advice and help.

Wunnerful: Time to cut your crap here Burke, it's time for you to put
up or shut up with your endfed wire. At the moment I can most
conveniently get on 20 & 40 ssb. Or with a bit of work on my part any
other band of your choosing.

Gimmee a date/time/freq and I'll be there.
