How's that? If you look at the field elevation on the sectional, and
add 1000 feet, that's the pattern altitude isn't it? Are there lots
of airports that specify a non standard pattern altitude?

Many of them, especially small ones. The airport I fly from has a
field altitude of 100 feet and a TPA of 900.

I have the essential information on 10 airports on my knee-board. On
six of them your system would be correct. The others vary from the
thousand-foot rule by anywhere from 65 feet to 200 feet.
