Hi Jim,
In ground radials - 60. Length 60-100' depending on direction due to a close
in stone wall in one direction.
All the coax is buried and all the shields are tied to the tower legs about
a foot up the tower after the leave the ground.

N2TK, Tony

What do you have for a radial system?  That's the primary determining
factor. The choke prevents the coax from being used as a radial. If you have
a robust radial system, that's far less of an issue.
