Topband: Radials around house

[k6se@juno.com (k6se@juno.com)]

Shorter radials in one direction does not affect the azimuth pattern of
the vertical and does not noticeably cut down the efficiency of the
vertical (as long as the other radials are of sufficient length for the
total number of radials).

If you're putting in a radial system with 60 or more radials, don't
bother to sneak some of them around the house.  Just run those straight
up to the house and end there.  That's the way I did mine and it doesn't
seem to have hurt anything.
