After researching the matter, I elected to put at least 36 ground
radials 40 feet long, I will add more longer ones later when the weather
clears, for my big vertical antenna. I would do the same for an inverted L.
I understand using elevated radials requires that they be tuned or cut
to the length of the band you are intending to operate on. For 160 m,
that could be a pretty tall order. Hanging them sufficiently high off
the ground will be awkward, I figure. Ground radials do not require
tuning or cutting to any particular length, the more the better.
Just My take... , anyway.
