Hi Bill,

If you use resonant elevated radials, and only a few radials, grounding to
the building can actually HURT your signal. Expect about 4 to 8 dB less
signal with a small elevated system when compared to a big regular radial
system, no matter what fancy tricks are used to improve performance.
I'd recommend grounding to the building and adding a bunch of radials (at
least 30) either elevated or laying on the ground. Use as many as you can
as straight and long as you can reasonably make them.
