Default EZNEC Vertical interpretation

Found the helix. I will have to puzzle it out. I have a lot to digest.
I am glad I asked the question. The answers turned on a lot lights.

I don't find the Helix feature in my copy of EZNEC+ V4.
I believe I can get the same results by inserting an appropriate load.
It will just be a little more cumbersome.


The helix feature is found under the Wires window under the create
menu. But it is somewhat complicated. A lumped inductance load
will get you started.

The problem with feeding an impedance of 1.2-j1400 ohms is
getting power into the antenna without dissipating most of it
in the matching network.
