I get it now. I have no excuse for my misunderstanding. I was wondering what you were going to compare this requested model against, and I also assumed you might be asking me to do a real test as well. The model may happen, but the real test won't likely follow.
I do wish I had been able to do my modeling ideas back when I was real world testing. I would have surely done some of what you're suggesting and would not have wasted my time trying to duplicate what other CB'rs might be doing in their installs, it just make sense. I tested at different heights trying to give guys an idea of the significance of height to there antenna, and not so much just to show gain or the advantages of going higher. That turned out to be a total waste of time and effort.
BTW, read the part that Maxwell writes above in italics and quotes, and tell me if you sense his remarks make any distinction...other than the notion about a .64 wave radiator? Maxwell also says,
It is my claim that this whole misunderstanding about the real benefit of the .64 wl radiator has been blown all out of proportions in the CB business, and that this probably happened due to a controversy on this very report by Ballantine in 1923.
You can't just read a few lines of a text, and then claim to understand the full context. NB, at least read the next paragraph and you should get some clue about what Maxwell was really talking about and Ballantine was reporting on. It was not about a vertical CB antenna raised well above the Earth with a ground plane attached.
Also read on down the page and see Maxwell's account of Ballantine's work on why the .64 did not perform has hoped, and what how he described worded his discription of the difference of 1.03 db difference between the .625 / .64 wavelengths.
