I am not an expert on radials but a very nice piece appeared on elevated  
guys appeared in the NCJ about a year ago.  The gist of the article was  four 
elevated radials over average ground at 65 feet played just about the same  as 
a 
60 radial buried system.  I don't have the particulars and my NCJs are  packed 
away for moving, but it was part of a three part series that made  
interesting reading.
 
I actually built it as a suspended wire vertical with the base at 65 feet  
and it played well.  However, I was deaf as a stone since I have extremely  
high 
line noise on 160 so I never was able to give it a fair evaluation.
