for permanent installation it's a waste of time because thin wire steel mesh (chicken fence mesh) will rust away in most ground in a short time.
Recommend copper mesh but professionally it only seems to be employed around the base pier of voltage fed towers. For a current fed tower a lot of radials near the feed point, >= 90, is good enough. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
