Steel tape counterpoise
Julian,
It's OK to drill a hole in the steel tape, and attach a screw,

Hi Julian,
It is a trade off for Convenience.
You are right, It will be a different length than a single wire,
due to what's left coiled up in the holder(inductor.?).
But..

We probably need to get the designers involved here. I'm only a potential
