I'm using RG213 with RG Mini 8 for a type of ground.
I took the center strand and attached it to the antenna, then
both the center strand and shield twisted together and attached
to a ground rod.

That is a great idea. I am going to run nearly 300 feet of Bury-Flex. For both
the Imax and the HF dipole.

Someone here told me to use bury-flex. It was a great idea. Who was it?

May have been me. I love mine and it's wife friendly as she can't see the
coax hanging around. It is pretty stiff stuff though, no heliax, but a good
idea to work with it when it's warm

At 300 feet, I will lose about 25% power, but should gain significantly on
distance based on the bigger antenna and height.
