Very true peter, but with my 25 ohms or so impedance level, 2 ohms was 
hardly worth doubling the wire & shovel work....

That might mean a lot at only 4 ohms radiation resistance

>From the antenna measurements, you can see that doubling the amount of
copper (& labor!) resulted in only 2 ohms improvement from 16 to 32 radials.
