VOACAP and VOAAREA include a program called HFANT, which lets you see the
radiation patterns of a skillion different antennas, including the VOA
curtains, and build your own models for use in the VOACAP/VOAAREA programs.
The pattern of the VOA curtains has to be seen to be believed -- 22.5 dBi
forward gain, for example.
