Well, you might notice a couple of db F/B with that one radial you
selected. That would be a big win with the overall antenna maybe 5 to
10 db down from a decent radial system.
Verticals at salt water "on the beach" or on a couple wavelength
diameter copper sheet with 1 or 2 radials will work fine.

Once again I read an article in a ham magazine about a vertical
antenna with one radial. Claims gain in the direction of the radial
and null off the back. Where is this in reality?
Why spend all that time building verticals with extensive radial
systems if all you need to do is put one up with 4 radials and just
switch the radial in in the direction you are trying to work? Guess
that would be the way to go, huh?? 73
