Hi Frank,
I think you may have common salt confused with Epsom salts.
- Common salt is sodium chloride. The stuff we sprinkle on our food and
melt ice on roads with. It will definitely corrode metal and kill grass.
- Epsom Salt is magnesium sulfate. Sold in pharmacies. I've researched

Hi Gary,
Salts are a terrible ground enhancement because it can damage your
ground system, cause environmental damage and it requires frequent
replenishment as its washed away.
Radials or chicken wire laid on the ground or slightly buried are
much more effective that a single ground rod n

My soil is very poor for ground, Where I

A similar method has been in use here for a couple years. It let me snag
VP8STI among others underneath a big noise last winter.
This year, I made a wire flag for 80/160 as a noise pickup antenna, and
pointed the null 180 degrees away from the noise source(s). The flag is
routed to a variable gain
Tree,

as I drove around with my car radio at AM 1700 KHZ.
Purchased a MFJ 1026 even though a naysayer said it could not work with

Last night - around 8 PM or so - this HUGE noise signal showed up on 160 -
sweeping up the band slowly. Probably a DC power supply with signals every
80 kHz or something. But - it has some energy all over the ban - thus
rasing my noise floor. Sorry if I was an alligator last night.

My planned inverted L has morphed a bit ... I modeled it – it is planned as a
95 – 100’ vertical section (depends on the amount of droop I can remove from a
~400’ line from the top guy ring at 122’ to a tree that is about 45’ high –
spaced about 100’ from the tower) ... I found that the angle in
