the ground was set to "free space" and when i selected "perfect" ground
an error occured "one or more wires extended into or lying on the
ground", the problem was that in the wire coordinates z was set to 0
,when i selected a different z the problem was solved but the voltage
is still high, the antenna will be placed 90 deg. to the ground plane
so what should be z value? the source is placed 0% from E1
(monopole).note: i can't upload the file rightnow


Why don't you move the source to the bottom (ground) end of the
monopole? I'm guessing that E1 is the top of the vertical.

Use "View Antenna" to see for sure. You can use Z=0 if you use
MiniNEC ground.
