Please don't rely entirely on modeling when designing and installing an antenna. Remember its just a tool to see if an antenna works in theory. Unless you can build real world interactions into the model or schema then its not an end all. I got an excellent model for a W2PV 3 el 12 meter beam but putting it up 6 feet below my KT34XA really went askew. The 12 meter beam went to 25.9Mhz and both the 10 and 15 meter portions of the VA went haywire. 73 Dave K4JRB ________________________________________________________________________ Where do you get ICE bandpass filters & beverage matching boxes?
