Ok. Probably will need to be shortened but
why ? What about performance ?

Penetrator 500 which is a 5/8 wave antenna like the 827, has 105 “ radials. Super Magnum antenna has 108 , is 1/2 wave antenna.

I want to replace the shorter 827 radials because I think this antenna is a 5/8 wave and longer radials should be used since the beginning.

Why Sirio used a bunch of shorter radials instead of longer ones is uncanny for me.
