[TowerTalk] Radials, density, etc.

I did some experimenting with NEC on a radial field that is uneven. A 
radial every 15 degrees (24 in a circle) on one side, and every 30 degrees 
on the other. Not a fancy model, in free space, just trying to find out 
what sorts of distortions there are.

Upshot: Not a huge difference - a dB asymmetry in the pattern, at most, 
except for very high takeoff angles.

Comments welcome.
