In my case ... 60 radials spaced 6 degrees apart .. then concentrations of ten radials at 1 degree each for Europe, Japan, South America, and VK/ZL ... works like gangbusters .. all I need now is to clean out the shack and put a new feedline out to the vertical again!

I believe the word "optimum" should be replaced with "sufficient".
My experience with verticals tells me that 100 radials works much better than 60, especially when concentrated in certain directions.
