Rather than re-invent the wheel, and since I'm an EZNEC newbie who knows
just enough about modeling to be dangerous, I'd like to find a good .ez file
for a 120' vertical with a good radial system. There's got to be one out
there, but I just can't seem to find one.

I'm comparing a 35' high 160 dipole to the standard "vert1" model that comes
with EZNEC, and something is just not right. The low dipole should be
inferior to a 1/4 wave vertical at a 25 degree elevation, but my models do
not show that, by any means.

(I know there are limitations for radial systems in NEC2 vs. NEC4, but I
believe there are workarounds.)

I have EZNEC+ v. 5.0.

TIA.

73, Mike
