Russ,
First, the radials won't noticeably improve performance if you are already
getting a deep null. They will help with a poor ground, and they will assure
that variations due to changing soil moisture are minimized.
The minimum setup is (4) radials placed directly under the loop wires and
extending well beyond the footprint of the loop. Additional radials should be
spaced evenly between these first four.

Hello Gary,
I have been using the K9AY loops for several years and am very happy with the
performance but always looking for more. Is there anything critical about the
placement of the radials, i.e. in the same directions as the loops or at 45 deg
in between the loops?
Thanks,
Russ, N3CO
