Just to start an argument, why is it that EZNEC shows zero gain

for a
vertical antenna in the horizontal plane? Whereas, all your

diagrams
show maximum gain along the horizontal.

EZNEC shows the same patterns/gains as in the plots I posted,
when its models are set up correctly.

========================================

The model for a simple vertical above ground is simple enough.

Perhaps YOUR way is incorrect if the pattern disagrees so strongly
with EZNEC.
