As given, the average gain is about 16.7 dB - so one knows that
something-is-afoot . . .
The driven element (wire 1) is essentially touching wire 4. Current in wire
4 is unbelievably high. With use of #30 wire things improve, but wires are
too close.

Thanks for the example. Will use it when next talking about NEC as an
example of what not to do.

Here's my super-gain antenna with 24 dBi gain at a TOA of 23 degrees.
