[BC] AM Ground Systems & Ground Conductivity

[Bailey, Scott]

I saw that in Radio Guide and I've considered it, but as usual, they
will try to steal it. Heck, they would steal the power lines if they
weren't energized!

Scott, you might consider the above ground 6 radial scheme. Yes, it's 
above ground, but if they stole it, you would know immediately and you 
only have to replace 6 radials. You could fence in under the elevated 
radials and install junkyard dog v1.1. Just an idea....
