[600MRG] Short Radial Observation - Check this out

[Glen Zook]

Termination, in "antenna talk", is NOT confined to connections to ground.  It is also definitely possible to have a "termination" of a feed line to the radiating portion of an antenna.  A "termination" is nothing more than a connection point.  Now, "termination" is often used to describe the last connection in an installation such as "the feed line terminates (has a termination) to a dummy load.

The term "termination" in antenna talk means either a connection to GROUND or and Connection to GROUND through a resistive element.  Like in a beverage the end is TERMINATED in a resistive element to ground.  In Andy's antenna he connected the radials with a circumference conductive line. No termination was made as he indicated no connection to ground........
