Wonder how that one would work mounted at ground level with ground radials buried?
Mac, here is your idea for the Big Hair on the ground. I can't model radials on the ground, unless I make a free space model. So, I made it 1' foot above the ground.
I also made an overlay with an EFHW at 18' feet as a comparison. The Big Hair looks pretty good still. I haven't tried it at other heights yet, other than the original 36' feet and this one at 1' foot, but this one may not even have to be 36' feet to the base to still work very well compared to some other antennas down low.

Here is an overlay with one of my best models set low to the ground, the Sigma4 at 1' foot high and the BH is still lower in angle and gain.
