DB, your explanation makes a lot of sense and is simply put. I agree it is obvious there is a change in current distribution noted in your model...with the use of the correct capacitor in the right location.

It is remarkable that modeling with NEC engine, with all the bad press and misguided comments from naysayers, demonstrates nicely the modest difference your model shows. This might make more difference than is apparent, and for sure without your thoughts on the subject above.

For a long time I've had a sense that my best working A99 performed exceptionally well for me at times. I can't explain, but I have signal reports that show this, only to have some notable members on this forum...lambast me for such a claim, my using a virtual dummy load for an antenna.

At about the same time the only small difference I could claim was I saw the addition of the A99 GPK produce a more well balance bowl shaped bandwidth curve...than just the A99 alone.

Thank you copperhead556, 357, and of course K3DAV.com for your contributions on this subject. Thank you DB for making sense of it all.
