NEC 4.x ground calculation is *tuned* for the *money* paradigm, the
commercial MF BC paradigm. It underestimates ground loss where radials
would not be accepted as kosher by the FCC. ... Just don't equate NEC
to natural law.
Some may believe/promote the concept that NEC software is written to favor
"the commercial MF BC paradigm."
But if such is true, those promoters would do well to perform a NEC study
supporting their viewpoint, and post a link to that study in this thread.
Note that the NEC4.2 analysis I generated and linked at

replicates the measured results of a real-world monopole system elevated 4.9
meters above the earth.
