grounding for a long wire antenna
I would appreciate some advice on grounding for a long wire antenna.
I am just thinking about setting-up my new QTH mainly for 40m and 20m. I would like to try a longwire (around 100m long) with an SG230 ATU, largely because I have an opportunity to sling a long wire high and clear. But how important is orientation of grounding elements? I could bury wire under a small lawn (10m x 10m) but it would lie under just a fraction of the feed end of the longwire. Is this workable ? Alternatively (or additionally) I could run a long wire (again around 100m) in a straight line just beneath grass but at almost 90 degrees to the antenna. I could also connect the far end of this long ground wire to a big galvanised steel fence that runs for almost a mile, I guess that would make a great counterpoise?? What do you guys recommend Thanks |
