Well I mention it casually thinking the book is a source that can be trusted. I don't know if it can ?

I take asymmetry to mean non symmetrical arrangement around the radiator base and/ or different lengths of radial causing current imbalances.

Nothing to test here for me I won;t be putting radials on due to the massive inconvenience. The only thing like any type of radial is earthing my poles to a fence 3 feet from the ground. And as we know this is far to far from the antenna to count as a ground radial of any sort we are normally familiar with.

However it may influence the radiation pattern in unknown ways given anything in the reactive near field can.

Just casual commentary on my behalf really.
