Hi Guy,
Thanks for quick reply,
If I just start with the 20m vertical. It is 38mm tubing with the base
10m off the ground, the source is in the first (bottom) segment. Then
there are two tuned 1/4 wave 2mm wire radials for 20m connected to the
bottom of the vertical and drooping down at 45degrees.
Is the ground type that important when it is so far off the ground? For
reference it is real/MININEC medium - would an alternative be better?
Does that give you what you need?

Hi Dave,
What are you using for the vertical's counterpoise? What are you using
for the the ground type? Where is your source placed?
These are essential to answer your question.

Most of my modelling has been with wire antennas but now I am
modelling
some verticals with elements having diameters of between 38mm and
25mm
for 20m and 40m (and using drooping elevated radials made of wire)
I usually use around 9 or 11 segments for a 1/4 wave element. I
noticed
that when I changed the number of segments the results for things
like
feed impedance changed quite dramatically.
Are there some guidelines for the number of segments for a 1/4 wave
straight wire element?
How is the choice of segment length affected by the diameter of the
element tubing? Is there a limit on the ratio of segment length to
segment diameter?
