I have a little inverted L for 20 meters. A single elevated, 1/4
wave, tuned radial makes all the difference when transmitting.
Eliminates key clicks. Brings down the SWR. Makes little difference
on receive, tho'.

That's a ''counterpoise'' isn't it? ''Radials'' implies more than
one.

Yep, one wire is usually called a counterpoise.
