Hi OM,

There's a good chance it was from one of Walt's own many publications,
or it was, as he said, Dr. George H. Brown (the nominal, ultimate
source) with whom he worked.

My 1978 Antenna Handbook by Orr & Cowen, page 92, references drooping
radials at a 45 degree angle for a better impedance match, raising the
gain of the ground plane antenna by about 0.5 decibel over the normal
configuration.

'Course Walt probably preceeded those guys :-)
