Hi Jeff,
I'd say make the radials longer than you expect them to be, put on a carrier, and see if you can light a neon bulb at the end of a stick out at the end. As you approach the feedpoint the voltage will go through a null then start back up again. Cut the wire so that doesn't happen.
This should work in theory. In practice I don't know. You get what you pay for in advice !
