With only one tuned radial you've pretty much got a dipole, just in a
slightly unconventional geometrical arrangement.
I've used three radials
A symmetrical arrangement of radials (which implies more than one) will
reduce common mode current and high-angle radiation, which are usually
considered undesirable (although for local QSOs the high-angle radiation
can be useful).
If you have an unsymmetrical radial arrangement, it's best to
