The second interation produces two 6 estimates that differ in the
fourth decimal place. The field intensities E for the two iterations
are equal to four decimal places. Stopping at this point, a minimum
field intensity of -0.2043 is indicated at an angle of 28.0660°. (This
angle differs from the previous solutions by about 0.002°.)
