Booty, I haven't rechecked all the posts, but I think you were the only one that raised an issue about isolation or insulation of the dipoles...maybe in your first or second post when you asked a what if question.
Except for the first two horizontal models, without a mast, that I used to demonstrate how the currents remained balanced and symmetrical all the way across the radiator at both heights used...my models here were all connected to the ground and Earth grounded.
When I did the dipoles, my thinking was to use a simple antenna that was less complicated and naturally had a good enough match to help compare how Eznec handle the currents with and without a mast.
If you check Shockwave's last post to me you will see that he raises a mismatch question already about the match I got using the dipoles, and they are known to be off and unbalanced just a little bit. Imagine what he would be using as an argument if I posted the 5/8 wave models to start...having a match with a 23.3:1 SWR.
My focus in this project was to demonstrate this idea using 5/8 wave models, but demonstrating that one would be like opening a can of worms.
To be clear Booty, the Eznec ground symbol is indicated with a mast (a wire) connected to a small circle with a black dot in the middle. This symbol is typically noted at the bottom in the Antenna View.
I don't think I'm getting my ideas across here, and as simple as it is...I don't think anybody will try and duplicate the idea or check it out.
