Jim,
Do the 160 verticals with 4 radials elevated at 20 feet, individually
outperform the other vertical with 60 radials on the ground ?

Virtually zero QRP stations I've worked were using exceptional

Perhaps I'm an exception. I can switch between three 160M verticals,
two of which are a quarter wave with 4 radials elevated 20 ft, and
one that's a 100 ft Tee with 60 on-ground radials. All three have a
passive reflector that provides about 2 dB of gain.
I am equally frustrated with guys running 20W JT65 into a wet string
with a mediocre decoder because "it's a QRP mode."
