Alexis, I would like to try and compare my earlier models with 55" vs. 105" radials on the 827, but my model was at 36' feet and I need more dimensions.

Can you be more specific how high your 827 antenna is to the feed point when you raised it up, or tell me how high is your roof?

How long did you make your 4 longer radials in this case?

What is the diameter for the longer radials?

If you know, what was your stock radiator length for your 827 with 8 short radials, measured from the top of the coil to the tip?

What was the new radiator length after you modified the 827 with longer radials?

I see you tell us you didn't bother to retune your antenna. I had to shorten the 827 with 4 x 105" radials by 12.5" inches to keep the match close to the same on both models, and I also had to change the matching coil a little.
