A really interesting discussion, and some useful data, though as with
all computer simulations it is vital to include some practical
knowledge so as not to be misled by the results. Thanks, Dick and
Peter for your work.

You are probably right, but for practical reasons my vertical section
is 1m from the house. All I can say is that it works, despite the
effects of electrical wiring and water pipes. Some 5m is above the
house and this may help. I have run a similar arangement portable
and in the clear without a massive improvement.
