Default Loading coils: was Dish reflector

Yes, you would see this in the real world. EZNEC does a very good job of
modeling a wire antenna with a loading coil, provided that you model the
coil as a wire helix rather than lumped "load", and you can trust the
results. As I've implied, a lumped load is quite a good model for a
physically small, essentially non-radiating loading coil like a toroid
on a magnetic core.


Roy: thanks for the unequivocal and clear answer.
