Very impressive work, Dave!  Doesn’t matter if AI wrote the code.  You were the 
brains behind it.

When I first read your post I thought perhaps you were going to use a couple of 
dipoles end to end with rope between them for the antenna and was surprised to 
see the dipoles on a boom.  Would that not present some problem with the 
coupling between those dipoles in the same plane with one behind the other?
