Default Vertical above the ground-plane

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.

The mower folk will run over it without thinking if it is on the
ground, but the radials can be carried out of the way.
