I think the general advice is to have a ring
around your foundation where the radials attach,
and then another ring immediately around the
tower.  Between the rings you want a dozen or
two "radials" that run across the concrete.
No matter how good the ground radial system
is outside the outer ring, you still need a
good connection from the inner ring to the
outer ring.  If you skimp, you will see the
apparent resonant frequency of the vertical
go down.  The bigger your foundation, the
more important this is.
