[TowerTalk] ground radial length vs antenna height?

The antenna is surrounded by a salt-marsh...I watched the impedance of the
1/4 vertical drop each time I added four 1/4wave radials till I got to 48 of
them...then no more change.  I left it at that and I'm satisfied with the
results that I can't really measure beyond input impedance, haha.

Whether this reflection takes place, and how efficiently it 
>happens is dependent on the ground characteristics at that distance. 

Indeed.. flood your neighbor's yard with salt water...
