Actually, that wasn't a camera, I have a program that captured the video directly from my screen.  That focus issue happened when I had an editor software remove the first and last part of the video and convert the rest to a Youtube compatible format.  The original video didn't have it, however, the edited video did.  Maybe I have something set wrong in that software, I don't recall it doing that when I played around with it the last time...  Maybe I need to reinstall it fresh and set it up again, or perhaps convert the video to a more standard format before editing?  I'll have to play around with it.




Thank you.  The voice was picked up by a webcam microphone.  I could have put video of me in a corner, but decided not to, at least not yet.




I know it tells me the total segments used with the model, it might have that information in the file that it drops to the Nec2 engine, which is a separate software.  I'll have to look.




That is a good question.




I used the wavelength, and multiplied it be .625, which is decimal form for 5/8.  Inches had nothing to do with it.




In my model the radiator goes from the top of the matching section to the tip, which is 5/8 wavelength above the radials.  It is shortened some as it starts at the top of the matching section.  That fact that it is actually shorter than 5/8 wavelengths is incidental.  I can make that specific piece 5/8 wavelengths long if need be.  I don't see it making a huge difference.




Yea sure, no problem.  I even found a file that included the segment counts for you, along with the calculated lengths of said wires after the formulas so you don't have to calculate them yourself.  I put the data in a hopefully more familiar layout, for easy reading...  I know, it takes all the work out of it...  In this one, the feed point is the second segment in wire 5.  Also, this is in meters.

On your other post, the matching systems, namely the trombone like sections, are what is causing the skewing, I have made many models without the matching systems, and they have no skewing.  The matching features built into Nec2 don't cause skewing either.


One thing I do need to correct, I have multiple times in the past said that .006 meters is about a half an inch, I was wrong, that is closer to a quarter inch.
