That's wrong. I said .4dB and it is 20 log 192/196 or 0.2dB
and that makes this wrong

We would gain a whopping 0.2 dB going from 60 radials to 113
radials when the radials are 1/2 wave long, not 1/10th dB.
60 radials is still 1/2 dB below a perfect solid sheet, but
the 113 radials are about .2 dB dB better.
So for all that extra work of doubling the radials from 60
to 120 you would get about 0.2dB.
