Richard,

Go to the Master’s lair and see what he has written.  Click on "Placing an FCP” 
in the left frame.

Topband: K2AVQ FCP antenna

[Richard McLachlan]

Can anybody who has put one of these up advise me?

The original article specifies a counterpoise height above ground of 8 feet. I 
am going to try one but it would be much better in the intended location if the 
lowest wire was at 6 feet rather than 8. Has anybody experimented with a lower 
height and if so was the performance much degraded? Other than that I am 
following the build instructions to the letter.
