Marconi, I know you're looking for the answer to this question and I can't see how any model could be accurate if the phase angle is not. We would obviously expect to see phase inversion occurring in the bottom few segments of that 5/8 wave and it is not showing this. To add to the confusion, the Skeleton monopole does show the inversion. The best person to answer this question would be Roy but as you know getting answers from him is not the easiest thing to do unless it's "the program can't miscalculate currents". The two models you presented here make it very clear the currents are miscalculated in at least one model. If the program can't make a mistake, I'd expect the writer to be able to tell us how we made the mistake building the model. That too seems absent.
