I've used three radials for SOTA-type activations, with the vertical

summit with lots of straight-trunked conifers all around...
Steve Stearns, K6OIK has a article in the latest QST about the
effect of trees on 160M vertical antennas. It reads like it is
the first in a series about the effect of trees on antenna performance.
It also mentions Jim, K9YC who has some direct experience,
living in a coast redwood forest.
