Perhaps I should come at this a different way...






A note, S-N ground, or Sommerfeld-Norton ground is what nec2 calls "Real Ground".  It is by far the newest and most accurate ground system out there by any measure and standard, and this has been confirmed in real world tests.


Long story short, the Mininec ground over-reports gain compared to a ground system that has been tested and confirmed accurate in the case of ground mounted antennas.  This is true even considering the document you are trying to use in an attempt to say it is false.


What J. C. Logan and J. W. Rockway are saying in that document has actually already factored into these results.


There is a saying, "Can't see the forest for the trees", but you have the opposite problem, you can't seem to see that the tree your focused on is part of a forest.
