This sure suggests a computational error in the TOWAIR routine - like
when you do a model in HFTA and a 1-meter change in antenna height
produces a big change in pattern. I think the first thing I'd do is a
manual computation based on a topo map. Measure the distance from the
nearest border of the airport (for a conservative calculation), your
site's altitude, and apply the algorithm given in the FCC reg.
