I think it goes this way:

Circles and lambdas have 360 deg. each.   One percent of 360, or 0.01 of a
lambda, is 3.6, which translates to about 100 radials.   A radial every
0.025 lambda, or 8 deg, would mean about 45 radials.

Doesn't matter whether you're on 160M or 1296MHz.    What varies is the
space 'tween open ends, not their angular separation.

Correct?
