TIP OF THE WEEK,
adding more than 4 full size radials to an antenna elevated high above ground relative to wavelength is similar to adding chrome spinners to your wheels,

folding them up to where they add constructively to the vertical pattern in a favourable way is like buying better tyres and negates the need for an extensive radial system when the antenna is not mounted high above ground,

the downside is only people that understand tyres appreciate what you did
