radiations going downward at a steep angle will be reflected off the
ground plane. I tried to explain this in my previous postings, but
apparently wasn't successful.

Roy, about the example from another subject, you (correctly)
illustrated that any radiation for an angle of 26 degrees or less will
be beyond the radial field

But what about an angle of say 35 deg below horizon? That ray would
bounce on the radial field, is'nt it?? That 35 deg is an example of a
''steep angle''

Yes, that's correct. With the caution, of course, that the general
explanation is highly simplified.
