I posted this on TowerTalk and I got a couple of responses as to why the
ends of ground radials should not be grounded.
Isn't it dependent on whether you want the radials resonant or not? And
if you do want them resonant, on the length of the radial?
It doesn't make sense to ground the far end of a quarter wave radial if
you want a low impedance at the base of the antenna. It does make sense if
you have short radials and want to intercept the "return current".
