Peter: Thank you. The addition of the iron 'salting' the surronding earth sounds like a good idea. I have read where some used certain salts to do such. I have used for other things the water boring
I thought that the concrete was mainly to lower the centre of gravity for the complete antenna structure Such common sense that is not common. I really like this idea. The only question would be the
