Subject: FCP with mesh

 

 

I added a K2AV FCP to my inv L last year and saw a significant increase in 
performance.  I added  about 25 new entities this past year and have recently 
reached DXCC on TB.  I do have mesh below FCP.  Soil is average.  Live on lake. 
 Water level is high in soil.

Topband: Question for the K2AV FCP users...

[Peter Bertini]

Has anyone with poor soil considered or tried adding a few
hundred square feet of  cheap galvanized wire mesh on  the ground beneath
the FCP to reduce ground losses?  I suspect
improving the near field ground losses would help slightly,
but was curious if anyone actually tried it?
