Default Reflexion on ground and radials

Hi to all,

From the help file of EZNEC, I copy this sentence:


''The ground reflections which cause the low-angle pattern reflections
take place farther from the antenna than most common radial ground
systems extend, so ground radial systems have little or no effect on
the ground reflection phenomenon.''

My question: Is this phenomenon dependent of the frequency? In other
words, will the first reflexion point be farther away with lowering of
the frequency or about at the same distance, independently of the
wavelength**?

**In that case, the ''long'' radials of AM broadcasting verticals 'may'
also become reflectors...

Thanks and 73 de Pierre VE2PID
