SW, I've seen the same thing and I haven't figured out yet what I'm doing wrong to get such results, but you are right, in order for the center fed dipole to radiate, theory tells us both halves of the radiator have to be in phase.

I recently tried to get Henry to consider what this means, but thus far he has not responded, just like he hasn't responded to my request for some good dimensions from his Big Mack, so I can accurately model that one.

I can show you a 1/2 dipole that does not do this out of phase looking thing, but I don't know yet why. Maybe I'll look that up and post it for another discussion on phase.
