Dear Sirs,

>From the electromagnetism theory the E field calculated in far field
for a vertical antenna [short vertical monopole] on perfect ground is
given by the following formula:

       E = 300 sqrt(ERP)/d

Where:

ERP is the TX power in kW x G gain of the antenna vs the short monopole
  d is the observation point in far field in km
  E is the farfield in rms values [(mv/m)]

If you would to know how you can reach this formula you have to
consider this equations:

Poynting vector S (ExH) = flux of [ERP] through a sphere with radius d

       E^2/120 pi = [ERP]/(4 pi d^2)

For short monopole the gain vs itself is 1 (0 dBSM) so if you use
1 kW = TX power you will find 300 mV/m at 1 Km.

If you use NEC2 you will find the same result (you have to transform
peak values in rms values). Also the gain is correct = 4.8 dBi (3
times the iso gain)

If the ground is not perfect you have to model it and calculate the
field with RP 2 card.

Best regards to all
