When it comes to elevated radials, the amount of guys who have strong
opinions on the subject are many - and unfortunately the amount of
objective data behind those strong opinions is generally not existent.
On the other hand, the N6LF work is one of the few well documented
objective works
I havent experimented on top band but I have tried elevated radials on 80M
¼ verticals. I had one in Houston Texas that worked wonderfully elevated
8 radials at about 10 ft. Ground conductivity in Houston was about as good
as anywhere in the US. I tried doing the same thing at 2 different
I second this.

Yes. One of the key factors is the height of the radials. N6BT, who has
done a LOT of work with elevated radials on topband, told me that 18 ft
is a minimum

My experience too, Bill!
The very first time I tried my inverted-L with the two elevated radials
etc., I broke a number of pile-ups in a contest with 100 watts! At that
time, I did not have an amplifier that covered 160m.
After that, for awhile I made a game out of turning down the power output

This question contains an answer with a NEC 4.2 plot comparing the
efficiency of earth vs. elevated radials:
