If anyone wants my antenna model files of a 4 wire cage and a pair of dipoles 
let me know.  Use k2xt@arrl.net to request, since this will come to my main 
email account.
My models were written for 4NEC2, a free program.  But I believe its easy to 
convert for other versions, or you can simply D/L 4NEC2 and load them in.
My files make it easy for you to adjust all parameters of the antennas -
the angle in a fan antenna, lengths, radius of the cage, but not individual 
lengths of the cage wires because right now I have them all shorted together at 
the ends.
But be forewarned - you will become convinced quickly that a cage is nothing 
but a physical nightmare which can be equaled at least, if not beaten, by 2 
simple dipoles tied together in the middle and fed together.

73 to all antenna experimenters,

Rick  K2XT
