Hi Marconi,

What I had going on were diagonal downward 1/4 wave radials made from guy wire, attached to the top U-bolt, down 9' to an insulator then parachute cord the rest of the way, so they are/were not in the horizontal, but downward/ diagonal.

The one in the direction of the S-Meter where I saw gain was the steepest & was attached to a guy point on the roof 16' away from the mast and 32' below where it attached to the mast, making it a rather steep downward diagonal angle of about 67°.

And in your sim it's quite interesting how the non-resonant 6' Horiz radials beat the 9', 1/4 wave Horiz radials on the Imax2000 for low TOA energy.

Here's one for you, (just for 'grits & shins') how about 4 horiz 1/4 wave radials at the bottom of the NV4K?
