Interesting, thanks for the info, might not be important
after all to have a "even radial system".
Then I ask myself, would the case be the same in an array,
forexample a 4 square? Probably it seems to me.

I did some experimenting with NEC on a radial field that is uneven. A
radial every 15 degrees (24 in a circle) on one side, and every 30
degrees on the other. Not a fancy model, in free space, just trying to
find out what sorts of distortions there are.
Upshot: Not a huge difference - a dB asymmetry in the pattern, at most,
except for very high takeoff angles.
Very high takeoff angles isn´t interesting anyway.
