Got tired of the maintenance.   It was about 3-5' and was a pain in the neck for mowing.  Plus keeping tension on the lines etc was a hassle.

With a 4sq, you pay in the end.  If it's elevated radials, then you pay over time.   If it's in-ground, you pay up front with the radial field install but then there is minimal maintenance over time.  But either way, you pay to play.

Hi Jeff,

You say,,

"I put down 5/8" CATV when I moved the 40m 4sq back down to the ground -"

It sounds like you had an elevated 4 sq, that you went back to the ground.

Can I ask why you went back to the ground?
