I've been working on a horizontal loop, about 210 feet of wire. I've
read that the shape isn't particularly critcal. That's good because my
yard isn't anything close to symmetrical!

Anyway, I've got one angle where the wires are coming together at an
angle that is somewhat less than 90 degrees. If you can envision a
classic "kite" shape, that's about what I've got. When I try and plot
something like this with EZNEC, I'm seeing these really pointy, jagged
looking lobes on the 2D Elevation plot, and I'm not sure what that
means.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

means it will work - after all - you can't reshape the yard.
put it up

If you see pointy, jagged-looking lobes, decrease the plot step size.
That's the "Step Size" selection in the main window.
