My statement was "relative field." Relative field is defined as E/E(max).

So, am I to take this response to mean that you have no further
comment upon your statement:
In fact for distances just into the far-field region for the radiator
defined in (2) above (far field usually being defined as further than
2H^2/lambda from the antenna), h-plane relative field is virtually 100%,
regardless of ground conditions.

as rebutted by mine:
As I pointed out once before, NEC (EZNEC in particular) will exhibit
fields from any antenna that are consistent with Brown, Lewis, and
Epstein's field data to within 1dB.
By way of elaboration, this INCLUDES at zero degrees.

As I read the two, they are in contradiction, but it appears you
perceive none. If you do not, I return to older queries:
What is the comparison being made?

To what purpose?
