Most of LI is glacial sand and only the coastal areas benefit verticals.

I suspect that your success is largely due to your location on Long Island.

Last fall I installed an “S-9” 43 ft vertical, added a tapped loading coil
at the base, with 10 on-the-ground radials about 100 ft long randomly run
all over my 60x90 house plot. Rig is 300 watts - Started on 160 DXCC with
32 entities, finished DXCC in one winter season.
My secret: JT65
I moved to a sloping Inverted L last fall when I only had 17 countries
confirmed on DXCC.
Initially the base had three 56' ground radials and was fed 40' from my
tower. The diagonally placed vertical sloped up towards the base of my
Navassa5 yagi at 40', then horizontal toward a tree.
