That might not be a fair comparison, since the pattern might be quite
different with and without the resistors. To determine what fraction of
the applied power is dissipated in the resistors, simply click the Load
Dat button.
Well, the shape of the pattern looks the same. The Load Dat function
produces 3015 watts into the antenna (high feedpoint impedance) and
1399 watts dissipated in each resistor. That's 217 watts not dissipated
in the resistors out of 3015 watts into the antenna for an efficiency
of about 7.2%, in the neighborhood of a mobile antenna on 75m.
