Default Ground gain on real ground

When the field is horizontally polarized, nearly any reasonable ground gives a
near-perfect reflection at low elevation angles. Only at high elevation angles
will you see much difference caused by ground quality.


Good to know. I would have otherwise thought that even sea water is not a good
reflective plane, its resistance not being very low.
