in your model with the blue line theres minimal current in the short circuit, also in your 1/4wave shorted line model theres minimal current in the short,
a 1/4wave inverts a short circuit to look like an open circuit,
so why do you have current in the last model with the upper 1/4wave & no mast below the hoop ?
is it that the source wires screw the line length up,
the upper 1/4wave which has no current on it
no mast below the hoop, what are your thoughts,
im not trying to make the model work with half of it missing,
it won't work but i may get to see if its possible that its acting as i described,, its also possible it won't show us.
