I should call this antenna (EI7BA) vertical with 2 elevated radials and 2 top
loading wires?

I read all those references before I commented, hoping to find a reason
for the error. I am looking at the 160 meter version (not the 80 meter
version), and as you described the top wire is 130 ft tip to tip (two
wires end to end each 65 ft is the same thing). The bottom wire is also
130 ft tip to tip (or two wires end to end each 65 ft), 10 ft above
ground, and the vertical wire is 45 ft. It appears that EZNEC doesn't
agree with the description on that page. I can only speculate on the
reason for the difference.
