The aCORN experiment measures the electron-antineutrino a-coefficient in free neutron decay. We update the previous aCORN results to include radiative and recoil corrections to first order, and discuss a key issue in the comparison of results from different a-coefficient experimental methods when these effects are considered. The corrected combined result is a=−0.10779±0.00125(stat)±0.00133(sys), averaged over the full Fermi neutron beta spectrum. The corresponding corrected result for the ratio of weak coupling constants λ=GA/GV is λ=−1.2712±0.0061. This improves agreement with previous a-coefficient experiments, in particular the 2020 aSPECT result
