Curvature of EarthHmmm, I googled for curvature of the Earth over one mile and multiple sites were you unanimous in citing 8 inches. Something is clearly amiss here with one calculation or another to get such disparate figures where you have it 184 feet higher. ?

Re: Curvature of EarthI fixed the caption. Thanks. The 185-ft value was not the drop away value due to curvature but the vertical drop away for 2 degrees down and one mile distance (tangent stuff).
