[TowerTalk] Asymmetric Radial Field for 80M

OK, I am sold.  I need to lay out a lot more radials on my little top-loaded
80M antenna to make it play better.  However, because of terrain, I am
forced to use an asymmetrical radial field.  I can go 10 feet in one
quadrant but 60 feet in the rest of the quadrants....Once I get the radials
laid down, I am going to bring in a truck load of dirt and cover them up and
plant grass.....

What effect does this asymmetrical radial field have on the antenna
performance?

Thanks

Scott
