I have received 13 replies, on or off list, and would like to thank all for the quick replies.  Many suggested going with 125' long radials, getting four of them out of the 500' roll of wire.    There was no real consensus about the decision to use raised or 'on-the-ground' radials.  There was consensus that adding in shorter wires, say around 80' long in between the quarter wave radials was a good idea, and to add additional radials as time/resources permit is a good thing.

So my plan is to get the radials installed on the ground, which is physically easier and easier to maintain, four 125' radials to start with more to come.  

See you all on 160M,

Thanks again, Wayne  N1WR
