Monopole antennas on the earth usually use ground screen with simple radial wires to improve their radiation performance. The number of radials N is usually considered a constant in the screen. This paper studies the effect of changing N and considering it as a function of distance  from the monopole using a simple and yet a fast method. The function N() is optimized for different beam angles of an HF monopole antenna. The theoretical functions are converted to practical functions to be formed using meandered lines. Practicable calculated results are validated by method of moments. Furthermore it is shown that for low angle radiation a constant N() with optimized radius of the ground screen is the best choice. The results can be used for higher frequencies, i.e. VHF and UHF frequency bands as well.
