Is it possible for someone to post the antenna modeling demo (or a link to it)? I'd like to see it.
Thanks!

The antenna is modeled using NEC2. The wrapper application and 3d renderer I used is 4nec2, which is reasonably easy to use. The antenna structure is generated using python. I can provide the antenna model used, or the script used to generate the antenna. The 4nec2 program comes with several antenna structures ready for use as well.
Thanks for the reply. I'd like to see the script you used as well. 4nec2 looks like a good program, but I don't readily have a windows box handy. I might replicate your antenna in CocoaNEC and see if I get the same results.
tnx es 73,
