Pardon me for asking, but why not study the EZNEC Manual, the ARRL 
Handbook chapters on antennas, and the ARRL Antenna Book? Also, ARRL 
sells a beginner's book on antenna modeling, written by Ward Silver, 
N0AX. I haven't seen it, but everything else of his I've ever seen has 
been first rate.

Most of us don't mind answering a question that is the result of study 
and working through a problem, or correct the misinformation and myths 
that seem to abound and be perpetuated by folks who know nothing. But an 
email reflector is not a substitute for putting nose to grindstone and 
STUDYING the fundamentals.

Ham radio is a TECHNICAL hobby. We have our frequencies because we 
supposed to be a pool of trained communicators, a breeding ground for 
future technical people, and experimenters who might actually advance 
the state of the art.
