Default Copper tape antenna element-model

wrote:
Hi, I just aquired some 1/4" and 1/2" copper tape that is solderable.
Thinking about using as antenna elements in VHF yagi, UHF TV antenna as
well as other things. Question: When modelling, what wire diameter do
you use when the element is actually conductive tape? Thanks.

The diameter of the model wire should be half the width of the tape.
