Hack for a Ham Radio Counterpoise?

While making the Flatlanders Mirrors EFHW video, I realized I needed a counterpoise.

In this episode, I will show you an easy way and the over engineered way I installed a Counterpoise for the EFHW. This has been requested by multiple individuals and I am happy to share what I can.

The first tip should work as a temporarily solution, if you ever need an emergency counterpoise in the field (IE, you lost you counterpoise lug, the solder to the lug came undone, etc.

This was the EFHW I hacked - etsy.com/shop/FlatlandersMirrors
