A couple of elevated insulated radials will out
perform dozens of buried radials, in fact 1 radial is vy effective, even
insulated radials lying above ground are also efficient.
I use 2 insulated 1/4 wave elevated radials on 500
khz and several lying on the ground for 137 khz.
Using a loading coil in an elevated position on a
vertical helps but remember twice as many turns are required as opposed to base
loading hence more resistance, you might not be gaining as much advantage as you
think.
