[TowerTalk] Ground Radial Attachment Bus ?

[wa3afs at inav.net]

I use a copper or aluminum plate with stainless steel 2-3 inch #8 or 10 hardware.  I then use some of the larger 
solder/crimp lugs.  I try to insert as many radial wires in each lug as possible.  Seems to work real well and is not 
expensive or difficult to use.

I have a pair of verticals on 160, 80, and 4-squares on 40 and 20.  That equals a lot of radials (I calculate about 
4.33 miles and growing!)

> I am putting up a vertical for 40m. Yes, I know, but this is all I can put up at the moment.  I was thinking that I could use a few of those bus connections like a circuit breaker panel has. You slide the wire in ans tighten the screw.  Seems like it would be a whole lot quicker than other methods. Are there other methods like that you guys have used?
