These numbers are those I can live with.  The other thing to be considered
is 
the lowering of the angle of radiation due to the extremely high drop off
which 
should help performance.  Although this is hard to quantify, it will be a 
useful factor in signal strength since everything from KH6 is long 
haul...closest significant land is 2500 miles away.
