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?

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.
