Default nec simulation - unexpected result ??

Agree! But, the radiation resistance ... ?

Of course, the feedpoint impedance will be different if you choose

Here is the confusing quotation:

The impedance of the antenna doesn't change with the feed method


(assuming of course that it has a single feed point)


A center-fed dipole has a "single feed point". An off-center-fed
dipole has a "single feed point". The feedpoint impedance of the
antenna does indeed change depending upon where that single
feed point is located.
