The longer the better to a point. No longer than the height of the antenna is what I have read. Also after 60 radials the return on investment may not be worth it.

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas. I'll do some shopping withing a few days, 
and let everyone know my best preferenceNow lastly.Does it matter the length of 
the radials ? Towards the back I can go 135 feet.
In the front I will be able to run some that distance but others might be as 
short at 40 feet,How important is the length.
Such as towards the back, I can go several hundreds of feet with no problem.
Or is more important to be 1/16 wave 1/8 wave 1/4 wave etc.A stupid question is 
better than no question at allVHF was my thing for over 50 years. The hobby has 
changed directions for meThanks againHerbK2LNS
