Your video is very slick dB, and you did a very good job of presenting. Work on the camera focus a bit, and you may create some real interest in modeling for the members.
Good voice, confident, and well tuned at working the software. I saw a few o'heck situations and that might be expected, but you did a very good job of recovery...and I'm impressed.
Ole grampa had something unexpected happen in some of his videos...and I fumble and got completely off script at times. My big thing was being able to see what the camera saw as screen shots, but that was not a problem with you. Later if I get interested in videos again...I will be seeking you advise on your camera handling.
I like the 4Nec2 approach and slick reporting, but there are also lots of functional features in Eznec that are somewhat similar. Again, I love all the additional reporting and the optimizing is slick and fast. I see the idea about using formulas or code to expand control and build the model. I think something like the geometry entry is available in the Eznec Pro versions.
I love the optimizer and you can see me doing the same...one wire at a time.
You auto segmentation process is different from mine, and now I understand how you get past all the geometry and segment errors and don't have to worry about segments.
Does 4Nec2 produce data that shows the number of segments per wire when using the Auto Seg feature?
Without that info in a wire description from you how would I know the segment count per wire on a model you post?
DB, I couldn't read the details and I'm a little slow sometimes, but I think you made the radiator using a variable for wavelength x .625" inches, and the model you posted above has a radiator close to 20' feet long. This is way short for a 5/8 wave at 11 meters????
You suggested to us earlier this linear loaded idea was to electrically make the 5/8 wave look like a 3/4 wave...how do you do that with a shorter than 5/8 wave radiator or is the radiator also required to be short? According to my version of you model it shows to be terribly short of resonance with > -300 ohms of reactance and the resistive part at over 900 ohms?
I'll have some more questions I'm sure. Can you post the wires for the optimized model? That would save me some time, but for now...I'll be trying to adjust the space for the load.
What frequency did you use?
