Paul,

do we agree that we can interchange the terms "ground plane" and "counterpoise" in this example?

in other words, can we agree that the radials on these antennas are providing an artificial ground IE "other half of the antenna"?

if so, then we can agree that there is a capacitive ground being used, and by connecting one plate of that capacitor (radials) to the other plate (actual ground level) with the support structure; that we are messing with that capacitance?
