Here are some comments from Michael (KB9VBR):

What could be better than the magic carpet, or the window screen ground network for your vertical antenna? Dave, KZ9V, joins me to show you his faster deployment of an elevated radial system that puts ground radials to shame.

This will give you the dimensions for the whip and radial lengths on your preferred operating frequencies. In the video the numbers in the formula were inverted. I apologize for the error. I'd also like to acknowledge, Greg KJ6ER, and his POTA PERformer vertical antenna. Dave's design of the linked radial is similar , but developed independently, from Greg's. Greg's plans go into more detail and have some antenna modeling plots that are helpful.
