I think I need to clarify. Although the modeling software has a range of options for soil types, we often can only guess what our soil is like. After 2 to 3 weeks of solid rain my soil is different than before at least temporarily, I'd think.

The example of the 5/8 with drooping ears versus one with straight was meant as only an example of differences in construction that seemed to change little to none. Also, I used the drooping ears antenna in a different spot to represent seeming degradation in performance by a move of the antenna a mere 30 feet over what should have been near, if not identical mounting parameters. The only way I might have known the two spots were different would have been by some soil testing process. My point is that I would have modeled both spots the same, yet performance would have shown they were somehow different.
