I have a 5 band Hustler vertical.
Available install space in my backyard is an area adjacent to my septic system leach field. I really don't want to place the antenna in the middle of the leach field and risk hitting an outflow pipe. If I put it just outside of the reach of the outflow pipes the ground is still relatively moist due to natural run off and the leach field. So will this leach field moisture enhance or inhibit the verticals performance due to soil conductivity.. or none of the above if the antenna is installed as indicated in the Hustler installation manual. (2 radials per band using insulated copper wire, 4 foot metal mast pounded directly into the ground, no concrete, no wood). There is also a 4 foot high chain link fence surrounding my backyard, 300' x 150', one side about 25 feet from the potential install location. No trees or shrubs closer than 15 feet from the vertical mast. Steve N2UBP |
