I also am enthused about this project and follow it with open ears to any modification that results in gain and lower angle of radiation.

I have a full size 1/4 wl 75 meter vertical for phone dx, and if adding some upward pointing radials will increase the gain then I am all for that, easier to prove on an 11 meter vertical than that monster vertical so if and when the results ever come out proving the raised elemants do actually make a lower angle of radiation I will wrestle with that 75 meter vertical.

The 1/4 wl works great now, take into consideration the wave length and full legal limit power, but if I can lower the take of angle then big fun.

The upward swept radials will not work on your 75 meter 1/4 wave vertical. That radial system only works on 3/4 and 7/8 wave verticals. Can you imagine that on 75 meters? The radials alone would be as tall as the 1/4 wave is now.
