Easy Ground Radial Install

  If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GODs7fOEs0 This is post 2585 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. One of the less enjoyable tasks of using an HF vertical antenna is the installation of a decent ground radial system. In this video, Callum (M0MCX--the "DX Commander") shows us a better way to install a radial field.  The important thing to remember is to get yourself and your materials organized before you "plant" your radial system in your back yard. Here are some comments from Callum: The BIG Nebula eXtreme multi-band antenna is nearing installation. In this video, we lay out 2,000 feet (nearly 600m) of copper as the ground. I'm using the biodegradable radial pins from my store here: https://www.m0mcx.co.uk/store/product... ​ . Exciting project. Can't wait to get on 40m and 80m with this..
