Default nec simulation - unexpected result ??

Purely resistive load = resonance ............ PERIOD

On that basis, one would have to say that a full wave centre fed

I know that is what your gut feeling wishes were true. But a
large portion of the RF engineering community considers "anti-
resonance" to be the exact opposite of "resonance" and indeed
it is the exact opposite on a Smith Chart, being the opposite
side of the SWR circle. Semantics strikes again. I'm sure that
our Russian counterparts have a completely different word for
exactly the same effects.
