Sorry Richard. I never refer to sources. Except perhaps Ohm.
There's no way of guaranteeing reliability. I work things out for
myself so you'll just have to take my word for it.

I have a remarkably small book library. Although I did buy a
second-hand copy of Terman in 1947 which I still occasionally browse
through when I'm running short of ideas. He's most comprehensive.
Which accounts for his continued popularity. But he's not God.

I suspect that your statement above that you never refer to sources doesn't
mean that all of your considerable knowledge is the result of your original
investigations. Even your countryman Stephen Hawking credits his sources
when he writes of scientific topics.

Terman's (Brown's) statements about the elevation patterns of loaded
verticals have been proven empirically by MW radiators for 70 years or more.
There is nothing to argue about, and certainly no reason to take the word of
anyone not willing to show conclusively how this concept is invalid. One's
word is insufficient -- even if it comes from you and/or Richard Clark.
