A couple of weeks back there was a question on the reflector regarding the 
use of shorter radials with shorter verticals.  This is an idea which has 
been "conventional knowledge" for a long time but I have never seen any 
quantitative confirmation of it.  So I did a quick modeling study which 
indicates that this rule of thumb does have some basis in fact.  I just 
posted a write-up of this study on my web site:  antennasbyn6lf.com for 
those who might be interested.
