Cecil, I failed to say that it is a Carolina Windom. Would the
vertical radial alter the pattern significantly. The antenna runs East
and West with the long arm to the West.

Yes, that *does* change things. The Carolina Windom is somewhat like the
original windom, i.e. the vertical feedline is designed to carry common
mode currents and therefore radiate. This antenna could probably be
modeled as an off-center-fed dipole with an extra conductor hanging
down but I don't know which side the coax braid is connected to.
Do you know? Is the coax braid connected to the long side or the
short side?
