Hi Eric,

That was a lot of work.

How did you model the trees, wires, cables, trucks, cars, busses, 
towers, poles, and other things in your program?

Also, did you model the accuracy of a spectrum analyzer used on 
a 10 dB log scale to see if it really can resolve fractional dB 
differences, and a Bird meter used to read true power and SWR 
operated at 1/4 scale?

With that in mind, what does all that work prove other than in a 
perfect situation we never have in the real world NEC is close for 
high horizontal antennas?

I can't see anything related to what was discussed.
