I may have missed something here but in my case I only have a 1/2 acre
'clear' under my tower. Because of the limited area
I chose to use a grid system of insulated solid wire an inch below the
surface with spacing of 3 feet per side of the grids.
I then removed insulation ar cross over points and crimped the wires
together, the crimping then made it quite easy for the solder to flow.
Tree roots have pushed up the wire in a couple of places but the rest is
unseen. I don't do to much work with verticals so I can't comment on the
sutability of this type of ground and have not read anywhere of any
comparisons to the normal radial
type ground especially for use over ALL of the amateur bands.
Food for thought. Judging by the number of responses recieved by the poster
there is a whole bunch of knoweledge out there on how to mess up your lawn
( yard over here)
P.S. get a mechanised pizza cutter to make the wire slots and place it on
the wheel of a wheel barrow so as not to alarm the neigbourhood
Cheers

6. Is there anything else I should know?

You're going to have backache.

In all probability he will lay down far more and longer than necessary,
anyway.

Is Sloan's Linament still available?
