Perhaps there is additional capacitance to the earth, it being closer to the antenna,  that benefits the model... At 30' and free space such capacitance is not influencing the outcome?

Maybe adding a slightly higher value capacitor to the 30' & FS models to see what happens might give insight on this theory?
