I don't think so Bob, I think if you did say anything you probably told me it was not height that mattered in this case...it was the length of the feed line.

 


 

I thought it might be something else you were alluding too.

 


 

That sounds reasonable to me Bob, in light of the fact I believe a choke can work, but not just any choke. To me chokes are complicated devices. I've just never experienced the fix that didn't change on me at some point. However with that said, I was always messing around with my antennas at the time, so I likely changed the height or something else. So to be fair, I can conclude that something else could have ill-effected the results I expected to happen.

 


 

You could be right Bob, but even though I've tried, I've never been able to get any useful data. IMO, if you or freecell ever did what you indicate here might be a simple task...then I think you two would have for sure posted your results to help prove beyond doubt your ideas on the Sigma4, right?

 

I'm still puzzled at times with Eznec current/phase results when they don't agree with how I imagine it in my mind's eye, or how these factors worked or didn't...compared to another model that looked to me to be working fine, and similar to what I would expect.

 

I have repeatedly tried to understand better by counsel from others, but the idea of currents/phase being somewhat predictable still evades me, even though I can still point out the currents on some of my current reports, when they are similar to what I imagined. It is when the currents/phase doesn't look right, and then I have a hard time explaining my thinking.
