Although I have ran hundreds of wire antennas with EZNEC, I am still a 
novice--usually variations of wire configurations rather than exploring the 
effects of various ground properties.

I used the "real/hi accuracy and 1 medium 0.005,13).  Also used only #16 
copper wire.

We will appreciate advice.
