I tend to agree with you Henry, and thanks for your comments. If you have any tips regarding my #4 .25 horizontal radials 108 model that will make it more accurate, then please advise. I appreciate all the constructive help I can get.

BTW, regarding you comment near the bottom of your post talking about tuning a full 1/4 wave vertical to its natural resistive match near 39 ohms. My old antenna mentor, long gone now, always told me that tuning a 1/4 wave ss whip to an SWR of about 1.5:1 was better than seeing a 1.1:1 with the same setup. He was not one to elaborate much, but he would say that making such a setup, however you did it, to show a 1.1:1 SWR was just adding loss to the system. I agree with you Henry, even though I did not fully understand it back then.

Don't forget, I need your tips if any come to mind.
