Default Efficiency of Vertical

I am not doubting your word but I am curious how you modeled this in
EZNEC?


I modeled it on 40m with radials elevated one
foot above ground. Note: one foot is 0.007 WL
on 40m, admittedly ballpark, but roughly half
the power seems to be lost in the direction
of no radials. Maybe someone with NEC-4 can
provide a more accurate simulation.

The good news is that losing half the power is
roughly half an S-Unit.
