Repeating what was previously posted. The following model treats a 1 meter
(perfect conductor) monopole, of 0.814 mm diameter, connected to a perfectly
conducting ground. I have applied a vertically polarized incident E-field
of 1 V/m (peak). The base of the antenna is loaded with the antennas
complex conjugate of 1.747 + j823.796. NEC2 computes the current through
the load ast 0.2863 Amps (peak), which is 0.5001 V peak. This appears to
agree with Reg's program.

Possibly someone can point out if there are any errors in the following
code:

You've specified a plane wave of 1 V/m peak arriving in a horizontal
direction over a ground plane. This results in a field strength of 2 V/m
peak at the antenna. For more information about this, look at my
postings over the last couple of weeks on the thread "Antenna reception
theory".
