I have read in a couple of articles that the radials need only be as
long at the vertical element as well. I think W9UCW was one of the
authors. It is all magic.

I posted what I would, and am doing. I subscribe to the idea that the
radials should be about the length of the vertical as a minimum and
using my friend, N7CL's rule of thumb, their number should be enough
to keep the tips no further apart than 0.015 lambda.
On, or in, the ground radials are much longer electrically than they
are physically because the Vp is much reduced. How much so, who
knows? Put in enough and resonance doesn't really matter. See
Devouldere.

Explain why more radials over the counter poise.
I'm hearing that 1/4 wave radials are actually too long and shorter
raises the feedpoint.

I would forget the counterpoise and add more ground radials.

I am constructing the K2AV FCP Counterpoise for my TB inverted L
antenna. I live on a small lakeside lot.
Should I disconnect the few ground radials when I install the FCP
or leave them connected? Would both together degrade performance?
