Since I have three relatively independent arays (NE, SE, W), my inclination
would be to concentrate the radials in the direction of interest, for each
array.  Warming the earth off the back of an array is probably a good thing,
and after reading about the difficulty of modeling ground systems, I'll 
probably just try it and find out.
