I posted what I would, and am doing. I subscribe to the idea that the radials
should be about the length of the vertical as a minimum and using my friend,
N7CL's rule of thumb, their number should be enough to keep the tips no further
apart than 0.015 lambda.
On, or in, the ground radials are much longer electrically than they are
physically because the Vp is much reduced. How much so, who knows? Put in
enough and resonance doesn't really matter. See Devouldere.

Explain why more radials over the counter poise.
I'm hearing that 1/4 wave radials are actually too long and shorter raises the
feedpoint.

I would forget the counterpoise and add more ground radials.

I am constructing the K2AV FCP Counterpoise for my TB inverted L antenna. I
live on a small lakeside lot.
Should I disconnect the few ground radials when I install the FCP or leave them
connected? Would both together degrade performance?
