Do you have an equation for Volts = Function( number, frequency,

Only a ballpark figure, Reg, which should be good enough.
Since balanced radials don't radiate (much), it should
be a piece of cake for you to come up with a piece of
software that calculates voltage at the tips Vs number
of radials. Let me know if you need any help. :-)

Reg,

The 1937 Brown, Lewis and Epstein IRE paper "Ground Systems as a Factor in
Antenna Efficiency" include an analysis of the currents in radial ground
systems, along with equations and graphs for it in various configurations.
All you need to do to apply them to a system of raised radials is to modify
these basic equations.

Of course, you will have to read the paper first to do that (wink, nudge).
But then you might also see why knowledge of ground conductivity was
unimportant to the conclusions of this paper, and refrain from saying so in
the future.
