I am working on keeping the grounding location wet, as it rightly seems to improve the signal.
I saw somewhere a guy with a rangemaster was using a drip irrigation system.
I went to home depot and got two different systems that I am trying out.
One hooks up to a garden hose and looks like a thermos cap with 10 spigots. I got some rubber tubing that hooks up to the spigots and then
connects to small plastic spikes that have a spigot that can be adjusted to how many drops one wants per hour etc . The whole package above costs about 4 bucks.
The second item I am trying out is called a "soaker". Basically a hose that has a foam exterior that makes a loop formation and hooks up to your hose. I put it next to the ground and in moments the place is soaking wet, yet the water goes down not spraying all over the place. These soaker loops go for about 6 bucks each. I also got a battery operated timer that allows the hose to turn on at hourly intervals for how many mins you want. The time was about 15 bucks. The signal is stronger. I am still trying both methods to see which I find better for me. Here it is, an easy way to boost your signal and have another reason to hang out in home depot.
