Hi Bill,
I sure agree with Earl, Don and Herb.....but I would stay away from 
Quarterwave radials. It's almost impossible to get more than one of them to 
carry any 
significant current. Try four eightwave radials and an inductor to make them 
"look" like quarterwaves. Your radiation pattern will be much more symetrical. 
Take a look at the K5IU artical in Communications Quarterly for spring 1997 
for some real eye-openers on the subject.
