that looks how I would have modeled it..
I wonder if there's something funky from the ground specification. 
You've got a radial field with the elements sort of placed on top of it. 
Element 1 is at the center and connected to all the radials, but two of 
elements are essentially sitting on top of one of the radials, and the 
fourth element (at Sp,sp) isn't on any radial (since 45 isn't a multiple 
of 6 degrees)

I've never tried a radial field under an array in NEC (at least not 
using the GN card..)

If you run it with a perfect ground (or without the radial field) what 
happens?
