eddie,
i was looking at the current plot ( middle pic ) the colored lines show current phase and magnitude in the monopole and radials,
when i did the ez-bob plots to show where i think the antenna mode currents flow and in which direction they flow i had them correct and in the correct phase,
i made current magnitude equal to monopole current for easy viewing of current maxima/minima where real radials share the current giving the lower radial currents shown in the ez-nec plot,
the elevation plot ( bottom pic ) also agrees with what i have argued about the vector vs 5/8wave gain and radiation angle
