You will have already seen a message here that it simply acts as a bit
of end loading. Otherwise, no worries.
Really, one need not pick nits; whatever works, works! With a bit
larger nut and washer, you need not drill holes. You can connect to
the tape anywhere you want. A 75 foot (23 meter) tape measure could
be rolled out to 66 feet and the ground attached at the 33 foot (10
meter) point, for example, giving TWO radials.

Thanks. What happens with the coiled up part of the tape? Is it
effectively shorted out, or does it make a coil, like with the chalk
line solutions being discussed?
