I have a top-fed quarter sloper for 80/160 hung from my 40' tower. I need to
lay some ground radials (looking to do 10-20 120' radials) in all directions
to improve the radiation characteristics. Which is the best way to attach
these?:
1) Attach all to a tower leg using a stainless steel hose clamp
2) Run some heavy grounding strap from one leg to a ground rod, and then
attach the radials to the
    ground rod (I already have each leg grounded using strap and ground rod)
3) Either way is fine
4) A better way??

Thanks for the help!
