"...So am I to leave well enough
alone or should we add more radials? This is...(etc.)"
The more radials the better. Expect a feedpoint Z of 14 ohms or so with a
lot of them. Just use a shunt inductor across the input as a simple Z-match
(element length will need to be slightly shortened to maintain resonance). A
small coil there can handle lots of power. Of course, the L-net mentioned by
another here is fine too, but the parts need to handle more power. The shunt
coil also provides you with a DC ground return to eliminate static build up.
