This
has been well known since at least 1937.

I didn't catch this either. I misunderstood it to be that the number
of radials decrease loss. However, I do well remember that the
preferred radial of the day when I was first licensed was below ground
radials. Today I see a lot of antennas preferring above ground
radials.

This has me confused...I must be missing something...I checked the
previous
posts, but still doesn't make sense to me...Seems the ground losses
would
decrease as the number of radials increase....Thats what your model
showed.
