Recycling signals at the feedpoint sounds more like a mismatch swr
situation.
The ground radials form half of the antenna, and that radiation from
ground, in phase with the vertical radiation determines the field
strength and take off angle.

is to harvest the radiation from a vertical antenna that splashes on the ground
