Elevated mounting: For those who are experienced with tuning elevated vertical antenna radial systems
(more info on pg. 37-38) it is possible to mount the BigIR with its base raised off of the ground. This can be
done in a number of ways, however it is crucial that the vertical mounting post (if conductive) is electri-
cally disconnected from the radials/counterpoise to prevent arcing.
