[TowerTalk] intersecting radials on phased arrays

I'm laying down radials for an 80m 4-square.

Is anyone going to complain if I just let the overlapping radials overlap, 
instead of using a bus line between elements and soldering all the radials 
to it????

Just seems like it will be faster, although needing more wire. In case it 
matters, using insulated wire -cheap surplus #16 and #18.


I've got raised radials now, up about 2 to 5 feet (a contest quickie) which 
do work FB

A search of the archives didn't find much (although there is probably 
something there)
