Page 22: Locating The Antenna
An earth plane should be used to provide adequate earthing of the antenna. An earth mat for an antenna mounted on open ground can be supplied by Codan (Codan part number 15-00158). 3048 T... - Page 23 Usually, a counterpoise system is used to provide an efficient earth plane. A radial earth plane for an antenna mounted on the roof-top of a building can be supplied by Codan (Codan part number 15-00159). If an earth plane, such as a counterpoise, cannot be provided for the antenna, an earth wire connected to a suitable earth stake can be used, but with reduced efficiency.
