[TowerTalk] Fwd: Change in Frequency As Antenna Height Rises

[Steve Hunt]

It's clearly not as simple as a "capacitance to ground" effect.

The cyclic nature of the resonant frequency vs height, plus the fact 
that it is more pronounced over better-conducting ground, suggests to me 
that is related to the "interference" effect outlined in the ARRL 
Antenna Book in the section "The effects of Ground in the Reactive Near 
Field".
