Then my refferance (ARRL Antenna Book 1974 version
page 11) must be wrong. They give it as 1.415 * sqrt
height, not 2 times the heigth. You may be getting
the two times if you have two antennas at the same
height. You have to use the formula two times, one
for each antenna and then add them together for the
total distance. The 1.415 is a multiplier for radio
wave bending around the curve of the earth and may
need to be differant for differant kinds of earth.
