[TowerTalk] Shunt fed tower on 160

>Yes, BUT: it's a COUNTERPOISE,

>From my experience, the conventional term for a monopole's radial
field when at or below grade is "ground system"; when the radials are
elevated, as in for example a land mobile vertical up on a tower on
VHF, is "counterpoise."  I suppose they can be interchangeable but in
casual communication I've almost always had engineers use "ground
system" when discussing medium wave antennas.  IEEE Transaction papers
are probably different.
