All this pertains to the usual 1/4 wave elevated ground planes

BTW, using a larger number of radials will not
improve the ground conditions of the far field,
but being that improving the efficiency of a given
height vertical improves the gain equally in all directions,
you should see an improvement for all types of propagation.
The ground wave, space wave, and sky wave will all
improve by increasing antenna efficiency.
