I had some more time before I had to go today, so I modified the model to show the same antenna/matching system except the antenna is 0.64 wavelengths in length instead of 0.625 wavelengths in length. It is all very close, so I won't post most most of the results, little has changed from the data above. I will, however, show a radiation pattern comparison.

Here we see the .64 wavelength model (i10k-3.out) has slightly less gain than the .625 wavelength model. However, it has slightly more gain at higher angles. It isn't drastic, and you won't notice the difference, but for those that believe that a .64 wavelength antenna will always have more gain than a .625 wavelength antenna, there you go.

I don't have time right now, but I do want to see what length will end up having the most low angle gain...
