Here is the crux of my fruitless attempts to use EZNEC...
With EZNEC, when I plug in the value of my gamma rod and -jxr, along with
all other elements, EZNEC spits out an error! (something about too short a
loop seems to bother EZNEC, but this short loop IS working!)
However, I am looking at a REAL and functional antenna which appears to be
well matched and receiving well.
So, I end up throwing up my hands and just using the antenna and going about
with the "cut-and-try" method! (probably just my inability to use the app)

Or maybe not. EZNEC apparently won't properly model
the Lattin antenna. www.g3ycc.karoo.net/lattin.htm

Somewhere I have a .ez file that shows 20 dBi omni-
directional gain from an inverted-L antenna. Now that's
what you need. :-)

And you taught me something today. I didn't know one
can attach .ez files to a newsgroup posting.
