This is the 4NEC2 antenna bend model for: EFHW Inverted-L
To use this model:
Below. Highlight and copy (Ctrl C) the program control codes (CM,
CE, SY, etc).
Open Windows Wordpad and copy (Ctrl V) the control codes into Wordpad.
Go to "File, Save as..." and name your new antenna model.
In Windows Explorer, right-click on your new model and "Rename" the file to end as ".nec".
Open your new model to alter the L-height (hgh), L-bend ratio (R), angle of upward wire (lat2).
4NEC2 is an NEC2, NEC4, Windows based antenna modeler and optimizer by
Arie Voors.
It is available free of charge at: www.qsl.net/4nec2/
CM Standardized OCF vertical for 2-radial model converted to EFHW with variable bend point and angles
CM #14 AWG. Over Real ground, Element height fixed at 12 meters. Variable feedpoint height.
CM L-bend ratio is adjustable based on Length. 0.5=center.
CM End-fed so use short counterpoise and small inductance for hf tuning.
CM Arm longitude (lon1-lon2) is fixed to North-South
CM Arm lattitude (lat 2) is adjustable for angle of vertical wire.
