With a groundwaves there is no reflected wave and incident wave to get out
of phase with each other. By definition, it is all in the ground down to
one skin depth.

Reg, you are correct, of course, but Richard H. said above, "There is no
propagation of horizontally polarized groundwaves at all. The low-angle
reflected wave is out of phase with the incident wave."

What Richard mean't concerning the 'reflected' wave is that the energy radiated
downward from a horizontal antenna is reflected by the ground, and that
reflected wave is out of phase with the incident wave.
