well i hate to be the party breaker...

but I think we are missing the point....

What i tried to point out yesterday:


Im afraid the model is inaccurate.


When done as one should...the gain is drops with  say 3 to 4dB


I allready told you both where the main part of the error is.

Besides that error, your trying to model closed spaced wires NEC4 is the one to use.

Although i can understand not everyone using nec4.

And besides those two....as soon as you "run" the model 4nec2 generates a segmentation warning

(at least my version does)


Marconi was inaccurate about where the mistake was, but he was on track by claiming that the gain was too high.


Kind regards,


Henry


edit:  Ill post the DB model including aluminium losses using nec4 later...first kids to bed.
