Note that commercial communications is VHF/UHF, with vertical antennas

account when applying them to our stations, which may be VERY different.
Their antennas, for example, are all vertical sticks on a tower.
Point well taken. and the vast majority of our LMR clients' sites are a
mixture of vertical antennas, corner reflectors, small yagis, and
microwave dishes. The cost of the ground system is a fraction of the
costs of the infrastructure and equipment including labor.
As hams, we do what we can..... especially those of us who live in areas
where it's rare to get lightning more than once a year if that much.
