No, you are correct. I must have been asleep. Funny that nobody
else noticed my error. The difference in your results are probably
due to the fact that EZNEC does not use the Sommerfeld/Norton
ground model which produces more accurate results when the
radiator is near to the ground.

Hi Frank,

It was noticed, but certainly not by Authur. I don't hold out any
hope of ever seeing him do half the work to show numbers to prove his
concept.

However, you are still asleep. EZNEC does offer you the choice of
Sommerfeld/Norton grounds, and you even get to define the
characteristics of that ground. This, too, is something that Authur
has no competence with, or let's just say he has refused to share
actual data there too.

As for the Navy using tilted antennas (suggested by an unnamed
admiral, Authur's usual anonymous authorities).... Well, I have been
invited aboard fighting ships in the last year. I have inspected
their AEGIS radars systems. I have taken pictures of their antennas.
If any one is interested, I could post some at my web site that are
absolutely beyond many correspondent's experience. They are not
tilted (an absurdity) unless a hurricane force wave slapped them into
the hull (not obviously evident by any evidence however).
