Take down the elevated radials.  Having the  elevated radials above the 
radials on the ground will buy you nothing but  potential headaches.  I have never 
been a believer in elevated  radials.  They are more of a pain than what they 
are worth, in my  opinion.

One of those headaches will certainly be a sharply increased noise floor on  
receive - these raised radials can re-radiate local crud noise big time. On a  
small, noise challenged lot this only adds to 160  challenges.
