The F/B depends critically on the terminating resistance value. Make an allowance for the ground connection resistance at the far end when selecting the terminating resistor. Since the resistance required is high you don't need a good ground, but it helps to have one that won't change much with rainfall. For a really good pattern take a look at the 2 wavelength Beverage plot.
