OK thanks Paul

how can you measure that a radial system is still good over the years?

Maybe the cable is degraded, or is cutted in some points if animals are
around.

Is any easy way to determine that the radial system on a vertical antenna
is still good?

thanks!

You could do a limited "proof of performance" type test with a field strength measurement at a known point a few km away.

You'd need a comparison number, of course.
