Default Antenna Factor

With all the earlier/ongoing posts here about the voltage across a receive
antenna immersed in a known field, it may be appropriate to recall the
affect that "antenna factor" has on these measured values. Here is a
website with background on this:

The measured field strength using commercial VHF/UHF field intensity meters
needs to be adjusted based on antenna factor to determine the real value of
the incident field, using charts included with the test system
documentation.
