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.

the down legs are 20m hamsticks,  the upright is a 224" telescoping set at 17ft
it is fed at the joint with coax.  seems to work on both 20m and 10m  maybe 40m 
but did not test it.

so i made a homebrew antenna, it has a 17ft telescoping vertical with 4 20m 
hamsticks at 135 degrees down. 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?
