I am wondering if I should lay radials on the ground, particulary near the feedpoint's?
Any advice??

In addition to what Frank has written, I suggest that you study this link for ideas.

FWIW, I heard you pretty solidly every time I tuned the band for an S&P run during the Stew from my QTH near San Francisco, and your signal was roughly comparable to NP2X.

My specific suggestions are to 1) add more elevated radials; 2) try to elevate them to 16-20 ft; 3) try to make them equal length 4) try to make them longer; 5) alternatively, use a LOT of on-ground radials, length and quantity are roughly equivalent -- that is, more is better.
