Default Radials for a table mounted MP-1

I'm trying to get the best possible performance from a Superantennas
MP-1 on 40m. The antenna comes with 4 ten foot wire radials. The
antenna will be clamped to a plastic coated steel picnic table.
Question - would 4 33' radials be an improvement or by laying them
in the grass, does it really matter?

pse rsvp to my call at yahoo dot com.

73's de Ken KG0WX


Ken,
More radials are better. If possible, add the 4 33' radials to existing
10' radials.
Radials lower the loss to verticals, and increase overall performance.
