That exactly proves my point about takeoff angle being an inappropriate measure. If you study the plots of my NEC models, it becomes clear that raising the antenna does much more than moving the peak of radiation lower -- it also increases the field strength at most angles below that. See my family of plots of field strength vs height of horizontal antennas.

Everyone "knows" that this can't possibly work because it radiates straight up. (Except that it doesn't)
