In general, for on-ground radials, more is better and resonance is less
important than more. Remember that the function of radials is NOT to
couple to the earth, but to provide a low-loss path for return current,
and also to SHIELD the antenna's field from the the earth. There is a
great treatment of this in the Handbook or Antenna Book, by K3LA (I hope
I got his call right), that it took a while for me to get my head around.
