[Elecraft] Sloping Terrain vs Feedline Losses

[Jim Brown]

That exactly proves my point about takeoff angle being an inappropriate 
measure. If you study the plots of my NEC models, it becomes clear that 
raising the antenna does much more than moving the peak of radiation 
lower -- it also increases the field strength at most angles below 
that.  See my family of plots of field strength vs height of horizontal 
antennas.
