Default Spherical radiation pattern

In practical and provable terms, how much of that characteristic, far-
field radiation pattern can be attributed to the linear, unloaded,
center-fed dipole radiator lengths as exist less than ~10% distant
from the endpoints of that dipole?


For the MOM calculations inside NEC, the net segment
*current* determines the incremental far-field.
