In the real world ground losses in a mobile installation are real and
can be quite large. These losses affect efficiency and thus
performance.

What you did is to show that there can be marked differences between
antennae and their istallation. The more complex issue is, are these
same differences repeatable from vehicle to vehicle and area to area?
I seriously doubt that they are.
