[TowerTalk] Modeling tri-banders

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

Tom:

That is a very good question.

The only thing I can think of is that you might want to model them to 
see if the results of your efforts look similar to the published 
figures.  After you do this, and you get gain figures that are a little 
bit different than the published numbers, then you have to go into all 
kinds of other investigations to try to reconcile the apparent 
differences.

Once you finish you may not be able to figure out what you have 
accomplished, other than to have maybe learned some things about antenna 
modeling.
