Rob, I use a 27 ft vertical, with a small coil and a large capacitance hat.
I use only 2 radials for 160m. I am not a DXer but I hear all kinds of DX
and work some with only 100 watts.  Running 1kw would really make a
difference.

The efficiency would improve a lot with more radials, even short ones, but I
operate 40m up mostly (with this antenna, my only Antenna !).  I will send
you info if you like.
