NEC-LIST: Near field (over ground) (correction)

In a previous message regarding Stan Tarnavskii's data:

GN2,0,0,0,14.,.0001,
FR0,1,0,0,10.,

I had the wrong complex permittivity. It should have been 14 - j
0.18, but I forgot to multiply by 60 in 60*wavelength*sigma. This
still is a small enough loss term so that the lateral wave is very
significant and accounts for the discontinuity.

Stan asked about the reference to King's (Wu and King's) result for
the lateral wave. One reference is T. T. Wu and R.W.P. King,
"Lateral waves: a new formula and interference patterns," Radio
Science, Volume 17, Number 3, pp. 521-531, May-June 1982.
