[BC] Ground system

[Tom Spencer]

Why not just use a larger conductor for the four radials?  For example, 
if you were to use #6 cable, switching to #4 - or just running a second 
length of #6 - would double the cross-section, and at MW frequencies, 
skin effect is a lesser concern than at higher frequencies, right?  Or 
use 1" rigid conduit...

As to having a high potential at the far end of the elevated radials... 
wouldn't that be a good thing?  Makes one heck of an anti-theft device, 
and as long as you've exercised due precautions (fences around the 
support poles, warning signage), you should be OK.
