The first 6 additional radials are already in place but not connected.

For the measurement you are trying to do, it would be much better if the
existing radials weren't there - connected or not.  I don't know how to
predict the exact effect they might have.  But if they weren't there,
there would be no lingering question.  We're only talking about a few dB
difference here after all.
================
Only a few dB difference?  Do I understand this to mean that if Carl goes
from 6 to 12 radials that he'll gain 3 or 4 dB?  Wow!!  (Or have I
misread it?)
