I run 11,100 feet of radials for my HF and 600m antennas. It works great but I 
have lots of wire and lots of time to put them in the ground...hi hi

As Mal said, using a good antenna and a few radials will work good. Use a poor 
antenna and many radials and expect a compromise performance.

I have been finding that using silver plated Teflon insulated wire for my 
antennas and any coils, that my antennas seem to radiate well. I think the 
silver plating has a lower A/C resistance than copper which lowers the wire 
losses.
