Laying on the ground?

If:

Z= 138 * log (4* height / wire diameter)

Then, with a wire on the ground having a zero height,

Z= 138 * log (4*zero / wire diameter) =

Z= 138 * log (zero/ wire diameter) =

Z= 138 * log (zero)

darn...let's try:

Z= 138 * log (http://www.cognigencorp.com/nonmem/nm/99jun101996.html)


and there it all falls apart again, much like the antenna, which
obviously also fell apart. It was obviously not strong enough to let
dxAce lynch himself.
