Talking about radials. 
Has anyone done some real life tests and comparison between few radials 
(2,4,8) and many (60, 120) when over salt water or marsh (or soaked salty 
beach)? 
The point of question is: does the salt water ground (close to perfect) 
reduce the losses in return currents to the point where few radials are 
sufficient? 6Y2A - Team Vertical (and mine) experiences with few elevated 
radials show excellent performance, but could it be (worthwhile) improvement 
by laying many radials (elevated or on ground) over salt water "ground"?
Practical experiences please.

Yuri, K3BU
