Homer, the image in Henry's post #72 above is the I-10K model I sent him, and he is using his Eznec Pro/4 to work it...a far advanced version of Eznec than I use. Thus the current data noted is the same as my model, or he cut/pasted the data I posted earlier. He also displays the antenna from the top view looking down at the tip. This is exactly what he tells us.
Concerning the spiral model Henry posted earlier. I asked him to explain how that related to Eznec and my question about the tabular currents log not showing a phase shift (reversal or inversion), but he has not answered.
I think his spiral type image is likely a 5/8 wave radiator using another modeling program, and it just happens to represent the phase by extending lines out from the radiator to a point similar to the red line using Eznec. It does not indicate the red line curve however, but I think this is basically what his model is showing us and it does look to indicate an out of phase area at the base...that looks to be a phase shift that is similar to Eznec.
Henry is still thinking my question is about the image, and not about how Eznec indicates the phase and current in the tabular currents log for wire #2, in this case.
You might be right that Eznec needs the radials slanted up for it to show the phase reversal in the bottom where we expect, but my models of my Sigma4 and my Vector show different results in this regard, and they don't support such an idea. That said however, I don't know why this happens, and I have tried to figure out why the S4/V4 show phasing and currents differently when using Eznec, unless this all is a simple error in modeling someway.
This is why I had the thought to use a different program, but I've only had it for about a week. IMO An-SOF is basically a colorful antenna simulator, and is not as intuitive for me. It looks to be far more technical than I understand, and the manual is very limited.
There is a very good starter tutor on YouTube however. Search for An-SOF. It starts with a simple dipole model.
