All ground-mounted, vertical monopoles through 5/8-wavelength in height

(infinite size, perfect conductor, perfectly flat).
NEC models would suggest that the major lobe of a monopole up to 5/8
wave over "real" ground is dependent on the ground characteristics,
and can be quite high relative to the 0deg to 3deg region that people
are focussing upon.
