Homer, I don't think I posted on that thread, because I don't understand enough of the neuances involved, and in trying to check the subject out on the Internet I find most of the topics are just further debates on how and when the word counterpoise is to be used correctly.

When you mentioned it here, I recalled the subject at once, but I didn't recall that you posted it.

IMO, the term is couched in science and physics, but is a suitable enough term to be broadly used in a lot of situations. I did find one statement that seems to fit the word, "The state of being in equilibrium," but in that case it would suggest a dipole to me, and not a vertical with radials.

So, it gets a little confusing and does not seem to me to fit the way it is ordinarly used in discussions on vertical antennas and radials.
