They are common with lower frequency transmission sites. The ground wires will travel in a wagon wheel pattern from the base of the antennas the same length as they are high. Its called a 'counterpoise' Posted by nootz 7/22/2008 9:46 AM | remove   But they lined the beach, every 8 or 9 yards.

The'd be arranged in a star shape from the tower base if they were using vertical antennas, and they're usually not used with horizontal antennas at all. Also, a location like this so near the sea wouldn't benefit much from a counterpoise - the salt water makes a great ground reflector, so much so that every radio ham wants to live on a cliff next to the ocean ;) Posted by nootz 7/22/2008 8:59 PM | remove   Yeah, the picture kind of plays on the rod's actual size, I pulled it out of the rocks as far as I could, I got about 3ft down before I gave up to go look for the guy I was with. Posted by nootz 9/1/2008 2:12 AM | remove   Was talking to the guy that told me about this place, he said that these copper rods were used for detecting U-Boats in the area. They would pick up vibrations. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators. Graphical Design by Crossfire.
