[BC] RE: Slant wire feeds

Well, yes, but what I'm trying to get at, is, why would the ground current
be any different from a series fed or unipole, all other things being the
same ?

theoretically 0.000 ohms for a perfect installation, and there is still RF

will be high in any practical installation.
