[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] verticals supports

[Dave Anderson]

Jorge,

Every installation is different.  Depending on your ground you should install the Antenna mount in whatever manor that gives you good Antenna strength.  Make sure the Antenna insulator between the mounting method allows for good low capacitance high mounting strength for the Antenna.  Once the Antennas are mounted securely, drive identical ground rods next to each Antenna, in the same place on each Antenna.  Your goal is make each Antenna be identical.

Make sure the Antennas are exactly spaced for best performance.

In my opinion and low capacitance insulator is a must.

Good luck,

Thanks,
Dave Anderson, K4SV

However, if you need concrete for mechanical stability reasons you could always drive a ground rod at the base of the hole and connect it to your post. . .or drive a ground rod along side the concrete.  Even a 4' or 6' ground rod might well be sufficient depending on your soil type.
