I suspect that Henry is on to something with respect to understanding what the Eznec antenna view is saying when interpreted using the tabulated data.

I think that Eznec does not view the crossover of the red line as a phase shift as one might see with two transmission lines parallel, but interprets the cross over as an expected currents behavior for the 5/8 vertical, therefore seeing it as in proper phase to the antenna's length.
Add the V4k cone, or the open sleeved cage to the bottom of the antenna and you will see Eznec interpret the currents behaviors as what is consistent with transmission line behaviors.

The spiral view from above that the model Henry supplied tells us what is being reported on by Eznec - current that appears in the Eznec antenna view (2D) to be opposed, but are not because of the linearity of the current along the length of the vertical as seen in the spiral (3D) view.

Just thinking out loud.

[QUOTE="HomerBB, post: 414889, member: 8569"] I suspect that Henry is on to something with respect to understanding what the Eznec antenna view is saying when interpreted using the tabulated data.
