Default Vertical above the ground-plane

I hear that RG-8 shouldn't be buried, but if not, the reason for the
problem is the hired help with the mower people. They either will
chop it up or won't cut near it and complain to the land lord. He
hasn't complained about what we have so far, so I am keeping it low
key until we can find a better, ham-friendly place in which to move.

Thank you,
Buck

I've had a chunk of RG-213 running across my back lawn for 5 years or
so. It was laid on, but has gradually been absorbed by the grass. From day one
it has never even come close to the lawnmower blade and I keep my grass
fairly short. The same with radial wires! Consider giving it a shot.
