Maybe the real problem with PHG is in displaying it as a circle on a map. 
Maybe PHG should be just that... power height gain and no circle on a map. 
Or maybe the circle should reflect height and gain only for DFing purposes. 
If you are trying to track a signal down, the P in PHG doesn't have anything 
to do with what a particular station can hear... it's just a factor on how 
far its own signal can be heard.
