I came across an interesting antenna the other day on the web. It called for four radials for each band that one would want to use it on. In order to protect the lawn mower I would like to bury the radials. If I use insulated wires for the radials can I bury multiple radials for different frequencies in the same trench. I would rent a small trencher like they use for underground power and utility feeds, make four trenches and drop in the radials, then cover them.

Why would you want to spend the money and rent a trencher? Use it for a toy. If you have a lawn edger (if not borrow one) use that and cut a 2 to 4 inch gruve/s in your yard and lay your radial/s in them. In about a week they will fill in by themselves and you will never notice them. You don't need to bury them as deep as a trencher would dig.

Thanx for any responses.
