The forum has become extremely difficult for me to use since the new change. The page takes forever to load too. Very resource intensive. My response to your post refuses to publish with your quote so here it is for the third try. The edit my post option does not work either so we will see more mistakes.

 

To Marconi: Remember you're basing this entirely off a model that doesn't even predict the phase of the antenna correctly. Expecting accurate results under these conditions is ridiculous. You're also contradicting the free space CST model where height makes no difference and the fact a 1/4 wavelength makes no difference at the frequencies and heights I work with but yet we still get at least 2dbd when side mounted in the same location as the dipole was. Please reserve opinion for when you can support it or when it doesn't contradict what has already been proven in the field.

 

I've also posted much more than the CST file. I provided a specific field test to you that forces you to identify the phase of all radiated current correctly before you can stack another 1/2 wave on top. There is no "wiggle room" in this type of phase test but you still claim I have no proof simply because you cannot use the proof I offered.

 

I've already explained why Sirio removed their brand specific information in the model they provided me. You're insulting and misleading to imply the image provided was anything less than a "real CST file" I guess we can't expect more from someone who can't test their own theories.
