Marconi,


Again...it strikes me that you are showing the view antenna plot and expecting phase to be at the "side" of the antenna.

You provide a "plot" ...and write down "phase on" ...

But all one can subrtract with a amount of certaincy is current magnitude.

Of course you can have a good "guess" about the phase along, but it is not the way to provide it.


AND Again...you have pointed out that the "phase shift" happens at 0 degrees.

BUt...well...you do realise thats not the "center" of your phase shift ?

That "0" degree number has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.


Im afraid you still dont understand

I strongly suggest you go back to where we started and try again.


@W5LZ

The only limitation NEC2 i see regarding this antennna is:

1- closed spaced wires.

2- those closed spaced wires under a angle.

However, it is clearly desribed in the manual how to handle this.

And while NEC4 would be a better approach, nec2 should provide a good indication.


It is 99 percent of the time the opperator behind it who doesnt understand and makes errors. A good example is how things are "interpertated" in this thread..

Henry.
