Hi Pete,
Buy all means install more radials.
At 70 foot radial length diminishing returns is at about 30 radials

Now that the lawn mowing is done for the season, I resuscitated my 160M
inverted L. With 13 on the ground radials, each roughly 70 feet long,
measured R of 34 ohms seems OK to me. Is it worth laying down more
radials, or am I approaching diminishing returns?
