Topband: Modeling "Ground" and losses

I chose a horizontal plane distance that would be just a bit into the far 
field radiation of that system, so as to minimize groundwave propagation 
loss.

Greater distances would show lower fields, but their ratio would still be 
the same as at 0.1 km -- as would the difference in radiated power.
