Dear Big Al,
I can see from your response to a post from Jan 2005 that you are yet
another clueless luser using google to access usenet.
Google lest you forget has the motto "Don't be evil... That's our
job."

set of quarter-wave radials, possibly tilted downwards for an
impedance match).
The latter sort of antenna falls somewhat short of behaving like
a true infinite-ground-plane antenna, as the radials are neither
horizontal nor infinite in extent. If I recall correctly, the
radiation pattern will be tilted upwards from the horizon by
a significant amount.
The J-pole will be close to 0 dBd, while the "ground plane" will
probably fall a few dB short of that figure out at the horizon.
