What's the matter with 3, equi-spaced radials?

Be economical. Save a radial! It looks better too. And there are
no
arguments about directionality.

Modeling such an arrangement gave no real noticeable difference
between using three or four radials.
=========================================
Of course it didn't. That's the point I was making. The number of
radials, from 1 to N, is immaterial.

As N increases there will be a slight improvement in radiating
efficiency. The N loss resistances are all in parallel as seen by the
feedline.
