OK folks, one more grounding question...

I've started burying the radials and found that it is MUCH easier to only
go down about 6 inches.  What are the pitfalls with only going down that far?

I've checked out the PolyPhaser books and about all I see are "below ground
level" -- I don't see that they suggest a depth for the radials at all.

Thoughts?  Thanks, as always, for the assistance!
