Yanno? That was a vague response, the above ...

What I meant to say is, YES! I worry that "in close" measurements with
my field strength meter are/is inaccurate--and, I am ignorant on how to
correct this (without going to far-field.) Indeed, it can easily be
proven this is the case, EZNEC gives much different results than those
plotted with a "close" field strength meter--has anyone found different.
If so, I am GREATLY interested, and what am I doing wrong?

Sometimes it is just good to ask ...

Warm regards,
