(OP)
I am trying to read y axis value in Fig 4A in WRC 107. The numbers dont make any sense. What is the value for beta = 0.04, gamma = 84.5?

RE: WRC 107 figure 4A

I don't have a copy of the thing.  One thing that I remember being confusing in the past, though, was that things are plotted on logarithmic scales, even though they change signs.  Since a logarithmic scale never reaches zero, that leaves a gap in the chart at that point.

RE: WRC 107 figure 4A

My reading is close to 3.5.
Numbers on vertical scale are from .001 to 100: quite difficult to read indeed, this is only my interpretation.
