[600MRG] Short Radial Observation - Check this out

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi All:

Perimeter wire and Terminator wire... What I mean by the terms...

A Perimeter wire is a single wire connecting to the end of each radial wire, encompassing, 
and forming a closed circuit, ( typically around an antenna system ).

A Terminator wire ( in reference to my specific setup ) .. To terminate suggests;
" to end in a specific place " .. My 3 " short " radials were laying on the ground - connected
to - Nothing.. In my understanding - an " Open Circuit " .. Adding the wire at their ends
made for a " Termination Point " at a specific place.. Each radial is now physically connected,
and referenced to, each other, feeding back to the common point ground rod.

 Hi Andy,
 Okay, so at age 72 I've learned that the best way to stay ignorant is refuse to admit that
 you don't understand something. So here goes. I'm repeating w8bya's question. 
 How is a radial terminated or un-terminated?

 Hi Andy, pardon my ignorance but what is a "termination" wire at the end of a radial?
