The only problem is I see no direct comparisons to a normal set
of buried radials. Only that they were able to meet the "minimums"
required by the FCC. I would be curious to see how well the 6 radial
setup would compare to a non crippled set of 120 radials.
It's interesting, and I'd already seen it, but I'm not really convinced
thats it's equal to 120 radials in the ground.

The FCC minimums depend on the class of AM station.

1) 362 mV/m/kW at 1 km for Class As (equivalent to 225 mV/m/kW
at 1 mile for Class Is),

2) 282 mV/m/kW at 1 km for Class Bs (equivalent to 175 mV/m/kW
at 1 mile for Class IIs and Class IIIs), and

3) 241 mV/m/kW at 1 km for Class Cs (equivalent to 150 mV/m/kW
at 1 mile for Class IVs).

The groundwave field of a perfect 1/4-wave monopole over a perfect ground
plane is about 313 mV/m at 1 km for 1 kW of applied power.
