Is anybody on this list a power (or even casual) user of nec2? I've been tinkering with xnec2c, and am attempting to model AA4TX's parasitic lindy antenna (70cm) as a check (Tony provided gain plots in his paper).
However when I plot gain, all I get is the standard donut pattern (vert polarization), and sort of modified donut when viewing RHCP.
.nec file is below (apologies for formatting). Thanks in advance to anybody that can offer insight. The learning curve for this software is steep. (not sure if Steve Conklin is on this list - but the below nec data was built off of his 2m satellite yagi model)
