MrS, I have 7 segments in both. This was just a quick and dirty type of project. I started with a near 50/50 radiator to top hat model using 7 segments each and as I change the lengths, I just left the segments alone. It will make a little difference if I fixed the segments to the minimum per wire, but I didn't see enough difference to matter.

On a casual check MrS, it just doesn't seem to matter in this case. I'll check them all out though, and if I find one that does make the pattern, angle, gain, match, SWR, or reactance show a noticeable difference, I'll fix it.

Thanks for the tip.
