Hi folks....

I've asked a few of you off-line, but thought I'd poll those who care to 
respond.

I am experimenting with a 1/4 wave 40 mtr GP with the top at 80 feet.  I 
initially have only placed two radials at the base of the vertical section at 
about the 46 foot level.  I also have not yet decoupled the feed line.  The 
antenna is playing pretty well.  Any real life experience in the value of 
adding two more radials and a good choke balun?

Appreciate the input.
