Hi.

Another small point on quick antennas. We used to say to make the best of an earth use multiple earths. So to do this we would say if spike one was 2ft deep then put the second one 2ft away, if spike one was 3ft deep then 3ft away then so on in the other direction. Not to favor one direction unless up against a wall. Then water it with your morning tea dregs.
