Well Bob, maybe this will help.


I see the same and alluded to the radials looking like a folded 1/2 wave dipole in my post above this one.


Here is the match and other data that I see with DB's model that I imported into Eznec by hand. DB, told me it was alright to post my data. Sorry I did not have the currents on.


I also posted the wire definitions so folks can compare my numbers with the model posted on page 13. I show the antenna, pattern, wires, and the feed point source data.


I can't disagree with DB's explanation above either. I was typing my response while he posted. IMO, he tells us the model was designed to only show what was going on in the cone area and I think he told us that, I understand him better now, and I believe him.


Maybe that is what he was suggesting in the very beginning when he explained why he was uing so many segments in his model. I just didn't connect all of his dots.
