Here is the overllay model over Average Earth at 36' feet compared to my Marconi 5x SD'r type design at 36' feet. There is not much difference.


In the past when I tested my real Marconi with different types of loaded 1/4 wave elements for the radiator and the 4 slanted down 102" whips as radials...I saw little to no difference in on-air performance.

Here is the Helix model with both Vertical and Horizontal turned on and I see just a touch of Horizontal in the pattern.

Here is the Eznec main screen view for the Helix over real Earth at 36' feet.

BTW, I forgot to add a mast to this model over real Earth...that might make a little difference.
