That isn't exactly correct, Guy.
The 1937 real-world experiments of Brown, Lewis & Epstein of RCA Labs
includes measured data for sets of of radials varying in number from 2 to
113, and in length from 0.137 to 0.412 lambda. The paper at
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h85/rfry-100/BLandERadials.gif shows the
results for the longer two sets.
** So where is the rest of the data that would be of more interest to the
average ham?
