Installed a ground plane (such as copper mesh)
three radials give you 80+ reflection and 4 radials
is into the 90%, so 4 correct length ground radials
are better than random "paint" or "mesh".
I used 4 CU welding rods and just cut to length with
a SWR meter... and yes, you can hear the difference,
its worth the effort.

[sigh, power came back to cleveland at 8am for work
and 10am for my house, but we just lost it again
at home.. heck, I now know what its like to live
in CA! ]
