Interesting idea to be sure...Regardless of the "theoretical" answer. I
would suggest you take daily readings (probably between 11AM and 1PM)
for a month and log those before starting to add radials. If day in and
day out you get variation of more than a few tenth's of a db the W3LPL
RBN is not likely a good choice� for this project.
How many radials do you have now and� how many are you prepared to add?
AS you get more and more radials the incremental effect of going from 4
to 8 will be much more noticeable than going from 24 to 28

I'm asking is, could ground wave to a fairly nearby Skimmer be used as
an analogue to low-angle radiation to assess the effectiveness of
radial systems on an inverted L?� W3LPL is about 30 miles from me and
has a very capable Skimmer Server-based RBN node.
