“A 50′ piece of 4′ chicken fence, cut in half, and placed in an “X” under the antenna works very well. Solder it together in a few places in the middle where they overlap.. Just sayin’..”
An excellent alternative and it does work. A simpler way would be to assemble the poultry fencing (I was reminded recently of what it was called in the industry…but I already knew) or chicken fencing can be assembled so that it forms a square, or a circle (pick your flavor) in a 20’x20′ or 20′ radius and just lay that below the antenna. Let the grass and dirt build up over it, or soften the dirt with a tiller and then place on the ground, walk around it and stomp it into the softened dirt to bury it, or shovel some top soil over it.
