Ground screen material
I have a vertical antenna I would like to build a ground screen for.
Can someone suggest what type of material I can use for this? I would like to purchase the material from Lowe's or Home Depot if possible. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Ground screen material
Best bet is aluminum porch screen... Lay it down in a square under the
antenna... Attach radial wires and carry them out as far as you can... You can also get aluminum roof flashing in several widths... I used this for my 160 and 80 meter radial experiments last summer... I have several rolls of 24" wide on the shelf right now waiting for the next burst of antenna testing... denny |
