Richard,

It is not clear just what you were trying to demonstrate, but there was
no obvious connection to Rr. Maximum gain is unrelated to Rr.

Hi Gene,

The tenor of correspondence here would suggest otherwise. The
evidence of testing would suggest there is. The disconnect is that
the evidence counters the suggestions in correspondence.

Were you looking for validation that you correctly loaded the numbers
into EZNEC?

Looked OK to me.

Thanx, but now we may BOTH be wrong. ;-)

For short antennas this reference point is generally taken as the
feedpoint, which is also the current maximum point. There is no loss

I did explicitly state that wire loss had been turned on, and real
ground was used.

, so
all power into the antenna is radiated. Therefore the Rr for each of
your perfect world

Again, there was no "perfect world."

, zero loss examples is proportional to the feedpoint
resistance. Apply an appropriate scaling factor (a) if you want the
correct numbers.

Wholly unnecessary, EZNEC can cope with loss quite well and
demonstrates a real world solution (barring my errors of commission or
omission) within tolerable limits.

Did you have a question about something?

I would appreciate other effort in kind to correct any oversights
I've made

The bottom line, of course, is that none of this matters in a perfect
world with zero loss. All the power input is shot into space. Please let
us know where we can find that perfect world :-)

You are right about your quality of trolling. A "perfect world?" You
couldn't supply one? ;-)
