DB, you told us some results for your 1st model of the Jo Gunn idea above, suggesting you were surprised at seeing good gain for both vertical and horizontal polarities.

In this follow-up post you tell us you modeled the actual antenna. I take this as though your model changed.

I too have redone my first model (post #11) several times, but I've not seen much if any vertical gain among all of the iterations I've done for this Jo Gunn Super Sinner RV bent 1/2 wave dipole.

In your re-model, do you still see vertical gain to the sides like you reported earlier?

BTW, have your tried to model the original Boyer 1/4 wave DDRR? Shadetree Mechanic posted an image above, and I posted the spec noted by Joseph Carr in his book "Practical Antenna Handbook, Fourth Edition, pages 424-427?
