I kind of figure that NB, because I started the models for a 1/2 just to see how the radials affected the magnitude for the currents compared to the 5/8 wave. I have been feeling bad, so nothing so far. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.

 

My feeling is that the end fed 1/2 wave currents will not respond nearly as much as they do on the different setups per radial length, or isolated and not-isolated compared to the 5/8 wave like I posted earlier.

 

BTW, the forum is acting so bad today, that I might not get this posted even if I get it finished. I just tried to post this message and I lost the connection, and when it returned my text was gone. Luckly I copied the post to my clip board.

 

The models earlier were all on non-isolated mast, here are the same on isolated masts.

Remember however, when I isolate the mast and it shows less current flow, such will not stop the CMC from flowing on the feed line. In such a case, without a choke of some kind, these isolated setups will likely produce currents similar to those posted on the 13th.
