Captain, I see your point about the above ground pattern having similarities with the shape of the free space from 0 to 180 degrees. I just modeled the dipole at these heights today using EZNEC+ so we could see the differences. They are only online here so far. I understand we should expect to see some downward radiation with the real ground models but using these programs never seems to display that result unless the model is in free space.
