Does it matter if they all radiate from one or two attachment points/legs at
the base of the tower or do they need to be spread out on a ground buss?
Would it be okay to have a copper pipe buss around the perimeter of the 5 x 5
cement pad and attach them to that?
I would think it doesnt make any difference to worry about symetry aqt the
tower base as you have your house in a major part of the radial field.
On my shunt feed, I eventually ran a loop of 1/4" copper tubing around the
base. I found it made attachment easier as I added radials over the years
