1/2 wavelength radiator is at 18.093832 feet as translated from meters. The radials are very close to half of that length (very close to 108 inches), give or take hundredths of a foot or so in rounding... The base of the antenna is 36.187664 feet high, again converted from meters. If you calculate the lengths in meters they may also seem somewhat random, but were calculated from the 11.03 base wavelength of the frequency used, which was 27.19 MHZ. Ground is NEC's average ground. I have in the past, and will likely again use 27 MHZ in the future as it comes very close to the 11 meter even mark, which makes calculations easier to figure in meters, which seems to be my favored set of lengths when using 4NEC2.

I don't recall a mention of the scan steps, I have seen the settings for them, but have not changed them as of yet. Perhaps I should consider it in the future.
