Bob, I haven't done the real Earth models for the I-10K models yet.


I did a search and apparently I never created a thread showing the I-10K model. Maybe some of the files have gone missing that far back due to an update or two.


I remember a few folks saying my model of this antenna, that included my idea of the trombone tuner, showed a terrible pattern. It didn't looked like other 5/8 wave, so the pattern was different. I thought in spite of that fact, the pattern was very good. So, at some point I just stopped messing with the model.


That was back before I started using Free Space Average Gain and folks didn't like FS models either, so I didn't model in Free Space much until a few years ago.


I suspect the model might do the same over real Earth, but I could be wrong Bob. I know the pattern will not look like a FS pattern for sure.


Maybe later today after a nap...right now I'm feeling low, out of energy, and I'm seeing floaters. Click the link:
