Have you tried the modeling with NEC4? I have and can run the model if
you send me the model file.

How important is it to get that Beverage termination resistor just right?
Using 4nec2 I do some modelling to show that the RDF and far field pattern of a Beverage is
not greatly effected by the termination resistor value. I talk about using the Mininec
ground solution vs the Nec2 real ground solution and the effect of current taper on the far
field pattern and how an unterminated Beverage will “self terminated” when long
enough.
In the field I do some analyzer sweeps on a single wire to see the effect of
changing the Beverage wire termination.
Spending time trying to refine that Beverage termination resistor value is
probably not worth it.
