Default high earth resistance

"Brown, Lewis and Epstein."

Ed Laport worked with B,L,&E at RCA. I don`t have my copy of his "Radio
Antenna Engineering" at hand, but do recall Ed`s exhortations not to
interconnect radials beyond an antenna`s drivepoint because it
encourages hysteresis (circulating) currents which do nothing to improve
antenna action but do increase loss.

All the useful ground currents at a tower are radial with respect to the
tower`s base.

Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI
