Below is my DDRR model with a ground plane that seems to work. However, it does not show all the magical high vertical and horizontal gains reported...with it just 12" inches above the Earth.


I still see mostly horizontal gain 1.89 dbi at 0* degrees, with way less vertical gain at -16.36 dbi at -5* degrees, and Total Field gain at 1.96 dbi at 0 degrees. These gain numbers and angles seem more realistic for a 1/4 antenna antenna that is set low to the Earth.
