"A interesting special case would be when the vertical segment is 130

with a feed point that should be rather high impedance.  Presumably one
would not need radials in this case."

True, the feedpoint impedance would be quite high, but let's not get that
mixed up with the radiation resistance of the antenna.

A good ground radial system is still very necessary to minimize ground
losses!!!
