Re: [TCML] Counterpoise Idea



A decent idea, if you have the place to store them.  I like chicken wire, because you can roll it up, and it's easier to store. I've thought about bonding some sort of wire to a piece of thin carpet for this reason. It also gives a visual demarcation of a "do not go here" zone.
