Hello Topbanders

Another question for the experts...

When installing ground radials on a ground mounted vertical, how critical is it 
to connect those radials together at the far ends?  Some technical references 
show the outer tips of the ground radials connected with what they call 
'perimeter connections' and I'm wondering if these connections really add value 
to the ground radial screen.   Has anyone modeled a single vertical or an array 
with and without these 'perimeter connections' to determine if they are worth 
the time and effort to install?  Please advise.

Thank you

Carl W9LF
