Hi Rick,

Sounds like the ghost of Reggie.

So, in honor to his aphorisms and homilies, it should be noted that
adding more wire to that which is conducting nearly nothing - is a
waste of wire.

If we are to reduce this to sound-bites, then the taller the radiator,
the longer the radial(s). If I recall Reggie's other homilies
correctly, there should be a one-to-one correlation (length=height).
As far as efficiency goes, the difference between 20 radials and 120
is hardly noticeable on the S-Meter. Real engineers can measure
differences, but they are far and few between (and don't QSO).
