I checked your idea of changing my length from 17.5' feet to 19' and the model did as you suggested.

I also made my radiator 16' feet and that made all the segments for the radials out of phase with the radiator like I was suggesting to the guys earlier. Making the radiator shorter also added .47dbi gain to the model. I wish I could check the effects on resonance, but the match is way too bad without a matching device, and I can't model that yet.

I recalled that you also tend to make you wire diameters very thin for your models. I made my model with .001 diameter wires, but I didn't see any change of note. The only thing it did was lower the amount of current magnitude for the radials a very little bit.

I can't remember if I've talked about your using a scan step rate of 5* degrees, but I use 1* degree. That too makes a notable difference in results as one might expect.

My radials are also 72" inches too. How long did you make your radiator in feet?
