Well Doc, it was above 80° F in my back yard today, and I only buried about half of the radial, the rest is just laying on top along the fence line.....I lost 10 pounds digging trenches.....

Never did get to test it on 40 meters today...(busy with other stuff)....but I did make a quick 80 meter contact with SR285 on 3.814 Mhz. He had a good signal on me, but he had thunder storms rolling through up his way, and I had a nasty cell passing just to the south of me, so the lightning crashes were seriously interfering with our QSO. I'm going to dig up some more wire, and on the next cooler day bury a few more radials around the pool.....
