May I respectfully disagree. Eric Gustafson, N7CL, did indeed make
such measurements and took a great deal of data. That his
conclusions agree with your anecdotal evidence notwithstanding, the
data was taken. Eric found that you had to elevate the radials, at
the base of the 1/4 wave radiating element was A FULL 3/8 WAVELENGTH
ABOVE GROUND for the system to provide comparable field strengths in
the far field.
That is a little higher than most of us would care to go. ;-)
