There is much to be learned by a study of N6LF's excellent work on
radials. It's a combination of modeling and careful measurement of real
antennas.
I've done talks at Pacificon and for various ham clubs about getting on
160M, and about 90% of it is about radial systems and antennas. It
summarizes material in the ARRL Antenna Book, work by N6LF and K3LC,
W8JI, and K2AV.
