Fred,

You are absolutely right as far as my particular antenna goes....
changing the element size by a couple of mm doesn't do anything at all
to the antenna I'm going to build.

But for high frequencies with relatively fat elements and close
coupling, maybe it does matter.

This is a question about theory; it *is* a question about the twelfth
decimal place (or is it the third? the fourth? the second?)

I'm going to build it anyway. I'm going to get on FO-29 and make
contacts with it.

I just wonder if there's a *right* way to plug square elements into
antenna modeling programs. There certainly is a right way to account
for tapered elements.
