Ok, but I'm unclear about what "improves radiation pattern" means.
Wes,
Take a look at the links I posted to my NEC studies. There can be no
doubt as to the meaning of "improves radiation pattern."
BTW -- I do NOT agree that elevated radials have much to do with
establishing the take-off angle. AND, more to the point, I view take-off
angle as absolutely the wrong way to look at the vertical pattern of an
antenna. A FAR better approach is the one I used in those antenna
planning applications notes, for which I posted links a few hours ago.
