Wolf, the launch angle field strength immediately above the horizon is going 
to be determined primarily by the near and medium-distance ground 
conductivity.  Notwithstanding gain, nulls, etc between the two arrays, I 
would be surprised if the elevation profile between 0 and 10 degrees would 
change much unless there's a change in ground conductivity in the different 
directions of the arrays.
