Charlie,
The article is:
"Using elevated radials in conjunction with deteriorated buried-radial
ground systems"
Christman, A. ; Zeineddin, R.P. ; Radcliff, R. ; Breakall, J.
Broadcasting, IEEE Transactions on
Volume: 39 , Issue: 2
Publication Year: 1993 , Page(s): 249 - 254
Al Christman K3LC has written many articles on this subject over the years,
in QST, QEX etc.
Also lots K3LC info in On4UN's "Low Band DXing."

Well, I'm not surprised at all, Bill! Some years back some broadcast
engineers did a lot of work replacing deteriorated buried radial fields
under broadcast towers with elevated resonant radials. They concluded that 4
elevated radials would do the job quite well. Their work was published in
some IEEE transactions, and was based on real engineering measurements!
Your inverted L with 4 elevated resonant radial should do quite well!
