Perhap we are at crossed purposes but an ARFOR does not refer to an
airfield -that's a METAR and not all fields issue them. So in this
case how can QNH give field elevation unless it's an ISA day?


Again: QNH gives *by definition* the field elevation.


Only at the airport ref point, so, no, it doesn't.
