By then I don't think the folks at the home will allow you to be taking field trips, Randall.
As per my original post, the block and conduit will stay in place after the feed line bulkhead is installed, serving as a route for grounding and other similar needs. The 'temporary' part refers to using it for antenna feed lines. And the foam allows any future owner to easily remove the blocks (I installed 3, only one has a conduit) if they decide to reinstall the vents.
Todd send a couple runs of solid coppper wire out and put some radials down
Ground is soft in spring and you just need to get it down a couple inches.
That's the next thing on the list, Frank. I'm going to drive a ground rod or three right along the wall a foot or so out, right where the roof drains which will keep the ground more moist there and a bit more conductive. The main electrical entrance is just around the corner to the left, so tying everything together will be a cinch. We don't plan to stay here any longer than necessary but since the VT house still hasn't sold, I'm planning for a longer stay than originally thought. I figure everything will get done just in time to move to a bigger place. That's always how it works.
Now, if I can just keep a transmitter on the air longer than a month, life should be pretty good.
