Hi all,
 
When I had my house tented I had to disconnect the radials on my inverted L.
 
There is a 20 foot pipe that sticks up about 3 feet above the roof and the insulated vertical section is fed there with a big ferrite choke. 
 
The radials were connected at the base 3 feet above the roof. 
 
There are about 40 and it would look better if I kept the radials flat on the roof and brought them all up the 3 foot section to the ground lug on the vertical mount.
 
Any comments one way or the other ?  Tie the all together at the roof and run one wire up or tie them to the 20 foot pipe at the roof ?
