[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] RX 4sq ground

[Larry - K1UO]

Hi Craig, 

  I have used the 3ft angle steel pieces that Lowes carries as my antenna support and ground for my HI-Z 4-8 Pro system for the past two years with no noticeable degradation from when I used 2-2ft copper ground rods per 24ft vertical at my old qth.     This year, maybe due to rusting I have noticed BCB images creeping in occasionally so I supplemented the steel L angle bases with 2ft copper ground rods and this calmed things down and may have even cleaned the pattern up a bit.   Of course the array is over ledge that is about 2 feet down over half the verticals so the ground is very poor but things seem to be working all ok albeit about 1/2 S unit noisier than at the old hill top location 2 miles away.
