Again, I can only present you with the facts. It is your option to close your eyes and ignore them. If you feel you know more then the engineers who have worked on this project and assume the base radiation is negligible, then you are drawing the conclusion it's a simple half wave with unity gain. Completely wrong but you are entitled to your opinion.

It has been fully explained that this is an extremely near field model that will not show how the four radials combine their currents constructively in the far field. Had the design only used one radial with all currents applied to this radial, you might see the magnitude you would expect from a 1/4 wave radiator rather then one that is four times less.

Your comment on the antenna needing to have 2 or 3 db gain to be functioning anything like a colinear, oddly enough is the exact gain the antenna has and is advertised at. With respect to the complete active Vector file, I will be posting the information on my website soon. I see no point in posting it here.

I've already been open enough to share the best information ever produced on this antenna only to have it ridiculed by people who don't understand what they are looking at. When you become familiar with the modeling images this program produces, you will see there is nothing to be gained seeing the pattern at any other phase angle then 90 or 270 degrees that produce the current maxima.
