For those who would like to play a bit: From the equations used by MoxGen
(AC6LA) and as described in L.B. Cebiks page
(www.cebik.com/moxon/moxgen.html) I created a 40 meter 4nec2 model
containing similar equations. See below, 19 dB F/B. Just change the 'Fr=7.1'
value to create/calculate a model for a different frequency. 

All this without saying something about the reliability of the model,
because I have no means of comparing things with practical results.
