Help me understand:  The standard practice for a
four-square buried or on-ground radial system is to
terminate the radials to a buss at the common cords? 
That makes for the fewest connections.  The radials
terminated to the buss are shorter that those that do
not intersect the chord.

Or do people use the same length (e.g. 66 feet on 80
Meter antennas) radials all around and connect them
wherever they cross?  That is a whole lot more
connections.

How about it TT'ers?
