Can anyone tell me if a 'counterpoise' for my 132ft long wire has to be laid out like the long wire or can I get another 132ft of wire and wrap it round a former, like a coil?
Is this just for Top Band; and will the counterpoise be elevated?

i Steve,
Yes. The LDG AT 200 Pro II tunes well on all bands except 160. It goes to 'Bypass' as the SWR is higher than 3:1.
The counterpoise will be elevated to a degree. Only about 7-10 ft as I can hide it behind fencing and in trees. It will not be straight either. It will have several bends as I run it out.
Any Suggestions??
Kind Regards
