The "Resonate" button of the AutoEZ program makes short work of questions like
this. For example, create a 20m dipole model with an arbitrary length of 33.5
ft at height "H" above ground. Set up a series of test cases with "H" ranging
from 5 to 100 ft, all at 14.2 MHz. Select all the "Freq (MHz)" cells and click
the "Resonate" button. Like so:

Then tab to the Custom chart sheet and plot Frequency on the Y axis vs Variable
H on the X axis. Here are the results for three different EZNEC ground
characteristics.

For more examples of using the "Resonate" button see Step 6 here:
