Default Technical Vertical Antenna Question

If you have a Ground Mounted, or an Above Ground Mounted vertical, can
you create a lobe by placing your radials pointed in the direction you
want the lobe to occure? or, does the lobe occure in the opposite
direction from which you have the radials pointed?

What is the optimum length for radials:

1/10 wavelength?

1/4 wavelength?

1/4 wavelength plus 2%?

1/2 wavelength?

1 wavelength?

2 wavelengths?


Is the optimum wavelength a function of where the vertical is mounted?
i.e. Ground Mounted or Above Grounded Mounted.

Thanks for your help.
