There is another practical issue here. I would agree that elevated
radials can work great. But in practice, MAINTENANCE of the elevated
radials is a non-ending headache. Around here we have deer and ice and
wind and on and on. I ran various 40m 4SQ elevated radial schemes for
years and eventually went to an in-ground installation because I was
tired of the hassle.
You are probably a far better mechanical and electrical hand than I am.
But this maintenance aspect of elevated radials is something I don't
think gets enough mention.

I was about to recommend Rudy's work. He is a prolific experimenter and
writer; reading his stuff will answer almost anything you ever what to know
about vertical antennas, ground systems and receiving antennas.
I have a folder on my hard drive with 30-40 of his papers.

Some thoughts about that particular installation and why it worked well,
based on my study of Rudy Severns' excellent work on the topic.
