The med and max models in post #3 above have been tricked, so to speak, with Eznec program switches that have the effects of maximizing a model for gain and angle. These switches can also be used to mislead, as a result.

This is not good procedures for modeler unless these features are noted as being used, and a purpose is given for that use.

I was trying be bit provocative in my approach to rasing attention to some of the misinformation about J-Pole antenna. IMO, they are not without potential issues, but they can also be effective and they are more efficient than their bad reputation suggests. I don't believe many folks realize how they compare to other antennas designs and this is trying to demonstrate the issue.

The med model has the ground type switch turned on and it is set to the worst soil condition noted in the table of soil conditions.

The max model has the model also set over the perfect ground condition instead or Earth.
