Tom -
Good points about the loss factors, but can you extend the model to
include impedance effects due to resonance? I'm interested, not
challenging the argument.
For example, assume ground is reasonably uniform under the radials. So
current imbalance is primarily due to differences in length or arrangement
of the radials. Thus, changing the length of the radials would not
greatly affect the loss due to ground-related effects, but would strongly
affect current balance.
