[600MRG] Short Radial Observation - Check this out

[Gedas]

I do thank you very much for taking the time to expand on this but I 
need to apologize up front.....to this ole RF engineer you have made 
some murky water more muddy.

Let's try this......let's say you added 3 new radials, are you saying 
that all you did extra now was to connect all 3 ends of these radials 
with a wire and did nothing else? TU for putting up with my lack of 
understanding of your explanation.
