I counted only 52 radials... very efficient.

It doesn't take 120 radials to snag a bug. (or ham)

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

I have 50, fifty foot radials in much the same pattern below my 43 foot vertical.

These pics were taken during my recovery of a double spinal fusion back in 1980. As part of my rehab I did some walking. I would carry my Canon A1 around with me for giggles.  Took these pics. I find spidie pics to be a work of art.  Never occured to me that I should have brought my mobile with me and clip the ground to these radials.
