Try 4nec2 it is free, reasonably easy to use and reasonably accurate. I'm not sure exactly how you are set up there, but you should be able to model your antenna system.

Hi Folks,

Jamaca NVIS...

-    four driven elements fed in phase (70ft ea) spaced 70ft apart, 18ft AGL
-    four reflectors 5% longer buried just below the earth
-    four directors 5% shorter, 45ft AGL

A cloud warmer with gain?  On air comparisons with a dipole at 55ft.  Most 
stations within 300 miles abt 20db stronger (using calibrated attenuator) 
depending on F2 layer conditions.

I wonder what the computer modeling programs would predict?  I don't have one 
to try...

73,
Dave
