[TowerTalk] Does a Shunt Fed tower Care...?

[Pat Chiles]

I am in the initial stages of planning the shunt feeding of my tower.  How important is the attachment point/points for the radials.  Does it matter if they all radiate from one or two attachment points/legs at the base of the tower or do they need to be spread out on a ground buss?  Would it be okay to have a copper pipe buss around the perimeter of the 5 x 5 cement pad and attach them to that?

My tower is 8 ft from one end of my house( no the falling ice doesn't worry me ).  Would anything be gained by having a remote attachment point at each corner of the house so radials can run into the front and back yards?
