Hi Paul,
I think the important "take away" in these discussions is that the far field pattern alone is not enough to show the real vertical profile from a vertical monopole. The significance of the ionospheric element is another issue altogether.
Don't all of us on 160 know that!Making things worse, we more often than not firmly validate system changes with the worse type of testing.
