Re: [IRCA] antennas on unowned land

Sounds good, Bob. What direction do they run ? How straight are they ? And 
how high above ground ?

Most likely it wouldn't hurt to add a couple hundred feet.

This type of wire is available at Home Depot for about $17 per 500 ft roll, 
the last time I checked (although that was before copper prices went sky 
high)
