Thanks for understanding Henry.


Bob, here is why I did not see the CMC you noted should be all over the mast for such a model like I used. Obviously Henry's model was not isolated and I just missed the fact in reading.


1. shows the old model I started with. It was in FS and I never noticed it.


2. shows the model where I added a mast that was ISO 4" inches from the antenna. There are not any CMC to be noted for this FS model. This model is included in my post above and shows the pattern with gain and angle for comparison.


3. shows model #2 with the mast connected directly to the antenna...no ISO. Here we see the CMC. So no, I did not pick a model that had radials that worked really well. What happened is the ISO always tends to cover up to some degree these very bad CMC...just like I think Henry has suggested. This is also why, long ago, you told us about isolating the mast, remember?


You've brainwashed me.
