I am wondering if I should lay radials on the ground, particulary near
the feedpoint's?
Any advice??
In addition to what Frank has written, I suggest that you study this

FWIW, I heard you pretty solidly every time I tuned the band for an S&P
run during the Stew from my QTH near San Francisco, and your signal was
roughly comparable to NP2X.
My specific suggestions are to 1) add more elevated radials; 2) try to
elevate them to 16-20 ft; 3) try to make them equal length 4) try to
make them longer; 5) alternatively, use a LOT of on-ground radials,
length and quantity are roughly equivalent -- that is, more is better.
