Well guys the quote above is a post to BM where I told him about the model error I found with the original model I posted at the beginning of this thread. I fixed the radial length error I made to the model entitled (.625 wave x 105" radials 40') with 4 horizontal radials at 62" instead of 72". It was just a fluke error I made.

 

You will note that the model improved and this model shows to be even better, at 40', better than all the models with slanted down radials at the same height. This was my whole point in this model, to show the difference, and not show a best installation idea for the Imax. Only real world testing can prove that.

 

BTW, the recap report I posted in the beginning (my post #6) is still the best source of data that I did for this project.

 

Here is the new model, and I've added the currents tabular data to maybe help me explain what I see going on with the phase and currents for NB that might help us understand the cancellation ideas we think about with the 5/5 wave antenna. I added some notes that maybe will help in that understanding as I see it.
