> "Back then, KDKA was on 980, so the electrical heights work out to 260 
degrees (total) tall, and 140 degrees over 120 degrees (two sections)."

I believe the current KDKA operating parameters were the result of NARBA in
the early '40s.

An interesting exercise would be to overlay the vertical field strength
graphical profile of a 190-degree radiator on top of a true Franklin, along
with a few of the quasi-Franklins you mention.
