Topband: Relationship Between Ground Wave and Low-Angle Radiation

[N4ZR]

I don't think I've ever read anything on this topic.  Basically, what 
I'm asking is, could ground wave to a fairly nearby Skimmer be used as 
an analogue to low-angle radiation to assess the effectiveness of radial 
systems on an inverted L?  W3LPL is about 30 miles from me and has a 
very capable Skimmer Server-based RBN node.
