[600MRG] Short Radial Observation - Check this out

[Brian, WA1ZMS]

I'm also trying to visualize this one.....

Asked another way:
Andy, when you orgininally installed the 3 new radials....tell us where you connected the end of each one (ie: the six connection points)?

I presumed three of the ends closest to the house were all tied together and bonded to the coax shield of the feedline. Correct?

If so, then the three far ends were left open just laying on the ground. Correct?
