I think I must add another note on the models above, and really all of my models.  I don't use the stock NEC2 files to compile data in my models.  I use a rewritten version that has some changes.  For one it is multithreaded, which means it can use more than one core of my processor at a time, which means it is faster.  It also has some bug fixes within the code.  One of the bug fixes takes care of a known bug when using a ground that isn't a perfect ground, for example.


When running this model with the stock code I get a slightly higher gain than the version of the code I prefer to use.  The stock code shows a gain of 5.35 dBi as opposed to the 5.31 dBi you see above.  It also has an additional 0.04 dB in gain over the aluminum dipole reference as compiled with that core.


Just though I should put it out there.
