Bill,
Elevated radials get mixed reviews. John ON4UN (SK) used them with his 4 square antennas and I had a MULTEE with 4 revealed radials made from the Spi-ro 50 foot radials with good luck helping me to 167 DXCC entities on 160 SSB. Best DX was a UA0 in zone 25 across from JA. I also have worked Japan on CW just wish they allowed SSB on 160. Working DX on a one haft acre lot is possible but requires thing beyong the box.
Hope to be back on the air soon. I have a Spi-ro 100 foot dipole I hope to put up at 65 feet as a dipole L. My original version let me work PY3CEJ in South Brazil and a 5N0 easily through a big pile ups. I got the only 5-9 from the 5N0 and only 20 over 9 from PY3CEJ. I have the QSLs to prove this.
Good luck es 73
