"Modeling this in EZNEC 3 with the radials 3" off the ground shows
pattern skewing of -2 to -3db in the direction of no radials.....

.... is the skewing from wires being to close to the ground in EZNEC?"

You are correctly modeling on-ground or buried radials in EZNEC3 by
modeling them very close to ground.  If you use EZNEC's real - high
accuracy ground model, your azimuth pattern results will be quite
accurate.
