As far as radiation in one direction, I agree with Roy. It would
probably be about the same in that direction as another "poorly
grounded" antenna, except that in the other directions, it would
be even worse.

EZNEC agrees. With four radials one foot above ground the gain
is -0.53 dBi. With one radial one foot above ground the gain
is -1.62 dBi in the direction of the one radial and - 6 dBi
in the opposite direction.


How does it rate it with that one radial buried in the ground as in
the OP rather than above the ground?
