I use one just like this on 30M, and have always thought of it as a
ground plane. The drooping radials give a good match to 50 ohms.

An antenna design is stuck in my head. It consists of three legs,
each 1/4 wavelength long. One leg is vertical while the two radials
are 120 degrees below it. The two radials are connected electrically
while the vertical leg is fed separately. If it had more radials it
would be called a 1/4 wave vertical. But the one stuck in my head has
elevated radials and only two of them. I cannot remember what this
antenna is called. I know 'inverted Y antenna' doesn't work as a
search term. Does anyone know what this is usually called so I can
use a better search string? The low take off angle would be nice. It
looks like a 20 or 40 meter version would be easy to build and raise.
