If you use a center-fed vertical [like the Sigma 5 I have] you don't need radials at all. It's just a half-wave dipole stood up on end. Much better than the old-fashioned quarter-wave vertical with all its problems of ground losses. Needs to be center loaded for 40 but 33 feet is a full half-wave on 20.
