Well you cannot bury open wire and expect any results. What frequency
are you operating on? Are you transmitting? I think your best bet at
this point is to bury coax and feed a dipole antenna if you are
transmitting. Random wire antennas perform even worse than G5RVs. They
are about the worst.
I'm not sure I agree with that statement, I have used a g5rv in the past and I have had great success throughout the years with a random wires, end-feds, long-wires etc. The trick is to have a good ground when using a random wire.
Im in a situation where I need to bury the feed-line to a random wire (end-fed type) antenna and Im looking for the best way of doing this.
If you came here for advice why are you arguing with the first person
that responded?
Just go ahead and do what you (mistakenly) think is true just because it
seemed to work OK.
And it's "I'M" not "Im". At least learn the language you speak.
