[TowerTalk] More on radials

[Ed Sawyer]

Relative to modeling towers with yagis on them.  It has always been my
approach, although I don't have hard data to support it, that the only yagi
that matters is the top one.  And if you replace the mast and top yagi with
a vertical wire for the mast (to the yagi) and then replace the yagi with a
second horizontal wire.  The length of the wire I always use the "turning
radius" length as a T of wire off the mast.  But is the "longest element"
the better model?  Not sure.
