As you see in the radials are many ends. There is the lower voltage and

almost no radiation (electron loss). Radial work like the receiver antena
(caught electrons from air)

Without the radials your stations can work only in a "salt-water swamp".


yes, but how does the electron in a single radial know it is at the

end of a radial and not double

In each end the voltage has tendency to be doubled (standing wave). If you
have radials and the LED you can measure the voltage. It will be lower in 10
radials than in 6.

as opposed to the electron at the end

of an antenna that does double??

You know what to do to have low VSWR. Low VSWR means that the voltage is so
high that the intensive emission of electrons take place.

At higher voltage the emission or sparks make low VSWR.
