[TowerTalk] Radials

[kd4e]

Those radials are for RF, not lightning protection.

They may actually gather energy from a nearby strike
and inject it into your system!

> Would the lightning protection provided with numerous bare radials fanned out on the surface of the ground from a ground mounted vertical antenna be greatly reduced or eliminated by using insulated radials instead?
