If you're going to put plate down, then you should paint it white. It makes a huge difference to the temperature changes you will get in the metal.
Luke Turnbull >>> <[email protected]> 06/19/03 09:00pm >>> Hello everyone, Thanks for your input. I can go somewhat diagonal to the fence with the test site. With this angle, the EUT end will be closer to the fence than the antenna. I can also change the chain link fence to a wooden fence, but this fence is built on top of a 2 foot concrete retaining wall. I would like the site to be parallel to the fence for space saving reasons, although I know its not the best for an OATS. What do you think would be best for this site? I plan to use wire mesh over a concrete slab, with about 8 grounding rods 8 feet deep, evenly spaced. (4 on each side). Are you saying to also coil the wire mesh in an 8 inch coil and bury it into the ground on all the sides? If so, how deep do you bury it? I was also thinking about using aluminum plates, rather than mesh, because sometimes the mesh tears. I'm concerned that moisture would build up under the ground plane, changing the characteristics of the site. I appreciate any help you may have.
