Thanks Gamegetter, and greetings to you too.

I don't know what medium or frequency they're talking about, except they refer to Broadcast, and I assume it was back at that time in 1923. I think they were talking about ground mounted verticals, and I think I recall Maxwell saying low frequency.

I also think Bob read it this way too.

I see it that Maxwell did not referred to height per se, he used degrees. IMO this seems to isolate the descriptive height of the radiating element to a specific length, and not to suggest height above the Earth. However, I think they are talking about a ground mounted radiator and comparing it to two towers with a radiating wire between them. So........

My point is the old mixing of apples and oranges debate that I believe the CB world seems to do all the time, trying to persuade or come up with something new...based on some science report or discovery.

I think your comment on propogation differences is probably on point as well.
