I've added the curve to the matching section of the I-10K/Shockwave model, there was effectively no difference. I also oriented the radials on the axis instead of offset 45 degrees, again no real change.

I made a first run of a ring type matching network, like the Maco, but with no capacitor, it only had eight wires in the ring, and by extension 8 tap points on said ring. One of those tap points had a tuned SWR low of 1.6. The pattern, at least at this point, is also not as skewed as the I-10K/Shockwave model. Compared to the I-10K/Shockwave model, one side has more gain and the other has less, the tapped ring design seems to be more consistent. I don't know if that will change as I add more wires to the ring and, by extension, get a tap point that has a better match.

[QUOTE="The DB, post: 566206, member: 21346"] I've added the curve to the matching section of the I-10K/Shockwave model, there was effectively no difference.

I made a first run of a ring type matching network, like the Maco, but with no capacitor, it only had eight wires in the ring, and by extension 8 tap points on said ring. One of those tap points had a tuned SWR low of 1.6. The pattern, at least at this point, is also not as skewed as the I-10K/Shockwave model.
