[TowerTalk] Ball of radials??

[Daniel Hileman]

Hi Everyone,  I had about 60 x 1/4 wave radials on my 40 wire vertical. I took it down for a move, and in haste (and stupidity) all that wire got all tangled up. Well, I just put up a make shift 40m vertical, and attached all those radials, it's a big ball of insulated wire. My question is, will that work decently? Do radials NEED to be spread out, or is just the total amount of wire that counts?
