I am in the initial stages of planning the shunt feeding of my tower.  How 
important is the attachment point/points for the radials.  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?

My tower is 8 ft from one end of my house( no the falling ice doesn't worry me 
).  Would anything be gained by having a remote attachment point at each corner 
of the house so radials can run into the front and back yards?
