[antennaware] Strange Radial Design

[W9SN]

I've been wondering if anyone has tried this on radials for verticals:
Taking a 500' roll of copper wire and attaching one end to the base
of the vertical and winding it in a coil shape, starting out close
to the vertical and getting larger and larger going around it making
the spacing about a few inches on each pass.  Just laying it on the 
ground also.  For 40 meters, maybe making the total outside coil 
diameter about 66 foot.  I've not modeled this nor do I really know
how to correctly.  Winter will be here before we know it and I am 
already thinking lower bands.  Any thoughts on this guys, or am I 
just dreaming of not having to cut 120 radials for each element?
Good luck and Thanks!
