Bob I think you would have been disappointed in the full results in my post #452. I say that because the match was not 1.20 SWR or lower and the patterns showed little to no difference in gain and angle as noted. I was working with new dimensions for the original Astro Plane from Tib and I was not getting good results with the model as I noted above. So, I looked up my model for the Old Top One and here it is below in Free Space for now.


If this isolated Old Top One shows you improved results and you can see that the details you consider of value or worth considering, then I'll do the model over real Earth. I won't change a thing in the process, except add the bottom section of the mast to ground.


Then I will check my tabular currents log and report what I think is suggested relative to currents on the radiator and if they are maximum attainable.


The first image shows the Average Gain Results which is near 1 and considered very good. I also made a closeup of the antenna and made the Source Data report using bold type for a better clearer image.
