Default Tilted radiator

The original question said VERTICAL dipole , but you modeled a
HORIZONTAL dipole? *Or was one of these just a typo?

FWIW, I modeled your horizontal dipole in EZNEC and came up with
slightly DIFFERENT results:
* Resonant frequency about 7.335 Mhz
* Resistance about 81 ohms
* Max gain about 6.54 dBi at 30 degrees
I am INexperienced in using EZNEC and wonder if I'm doing something
wrong?

No, you are correct. *I must have been asleep. *Funny that nobody
else noticed my error. *The difference in your results are probably
due to the fact that EZNEC does not use the Sommerfeld/Norton
ground model which produces more accurate results when the
radiator is near to the ground.
