Is it worth laying down more radials, or am I approaching diminishing returns?

It depends a lot on the nature of your soil, and how much a dB or two is worth to you. These slides for a talk I've done at Pacificon, Visalia, and for several ham clubs is mostly about 160M radial systems. Nothing in it is original to me, but rather summarizing a lot of wisdom from others.
