So you have a ¼ wave 20m vertical and you are using multiple 20m ¼ waves as ground radials? If that’s the case than this is simply just a 20m vertical, with ground plane.

I ran it up a mast about 20ft off the ground and it seems to work relatively well compared to the 10 or so other homebrew antennas that I have hoisted. not sure what this configuration is called so when asked I just say homebrew vertical. does it have a name?
