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.
Thanks!
I have been using the same tactic for my modeling but I was unsure
about the accuracy of the answers.
