Of interest down here is surface-buried radials down here show definite 
standing waves in actual measurements, so it doesn't care what BL and E 
measured. What they measured in different dirt on a different frequency 
won't change how the radials acted here.

This is the problem with radials and models. The dirt isn't the same and the 
radials are never the same effective depth all over the world.
