If you include the extra man-made noise the vertical picks up, that 
sounds about right. :-)

Seriously though, such statements are of no value unless you include 
a lot more information. If you expect me to believe the 20 dB figure 
for all signals from all directions at all times of day...

Sorry, I don't.
