At the moment, I cannot reproduce what I thought I remembered about my C-3
models -- one based on the physical antenna, the other a monotaper model
provided by F12 that they have "tweaked" to make the feedpoints look right.
In both cases, with appropriate care for segment length and alignment the
feedpoint numbers don't look too far off. In fact, the alignment of
segments seems predominantly to affect how quickly the pattern and gain
converge.
Sorry for any confusion I caused.
