I think about a dirt cheap LPAM TX ground. Does anyone know whether a bit of old CB antenna piece of say 80cms of aluminium
tube with a copper wire coming from it would be best buried horizontally at 8 inches deep or pounded into the ground by 70cms vertically.
Also I imagine the shortest possible copper wire to the ground on TX would be best i.e. don't put the buried metal 3m away and run a 3 m copper wire over the lawn.
Sorry for silly newb questions.
I appreciate this is a compromise either way but just wondered.
