I picked on a hard model to match, a old 5/8 wave model I did for Homer back in 12/31/2012. It is probably posted here on the antenna section.

The model includes taper in the radiator, a physical matching coil, and was done in Free Space, so I had and old model that showed the Average Gain and I did not have to create a new model.

Then I took the model and changed the radiator to a single element with (noT) no taper...which is noted as a difference in the titles below, one wT and one nT.

I added 2 overlays for the models and the highlighted the titles using the (*) indicating the active model. If you check out the number of segments for both radiators...you will see they both have 57 segments and I got the segment lengths for the radiators as close to the same length as possible for both models.

I was lucky on this one...the matches were effected only to the extent noted in the Source Data reports as indicated on the last page for each model.

The difference in these model overlays speaks for themselves.
