Neil & All, I was using this kind of passing roads quite often....usually the distance was 3 meters in a soil. It was not affecting 160m but on 80m I noticed a difference , probably a capcitance to a ground was significant. In my main QTH where I have a lot of houses and tracks around I'm using thin wire 0,7 mm and a support in 50 % are just trees 3-7m high. Its easy to throw a reel of such wire over a tree. 73 Rys SP5EWY _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
