I'm confused about the requirements for a counterpoise for an end-fed wire antenna. I understand
that it's needed, but I don't understand what the requirements are.
Can a ground stake at the base of the feed point serve as a counterpoise, or does it need to be
another wire running under the ground below the antenna?
If a wire is required, how long does the counterpoise have to be?
Would it be better to use insulated or uninsulated wire for a buried counterpoise?
