The 1937 real-world experiments of Brown, Lewis & Epstein of RCA Labs includes measured data for sets of of radials varying in number from 2 to 113, and in length from 0.137 to 0.412 lambda. The paper at http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h85/rfry-100/BLandERadials.gif shows the results for the longer two sets. ** So where is the rest of the data that would be of more interest to the average ham?
