If this were true then most television broadcast stations would have nearly
zero field strength near the earth over much of their present coverage
areas.

Instead, the fields there are directly related to the peak ERP of the TV
station -- which typically is radiated in, or a few tenths of a degree below
the horizontal plane.

Amazing!
