AT 28R31 DB, WHILE THE HPBW NARROWS TO 97R4 DEGREES.  THE BLUE TRACES IN
FIGURES 4 AND 5 DISPLAY THE CORRESPONDING ELEVATION AND AZIMUTHAL PLANE
RADIATION PATTERNS.  CONFIGURATION C DESIGN C IS SIMILAR TO B WHEN ITS
VERTICAL ELEMENTS ARE BROUGHT INTO RESONANCE.  THE PEAK ELEVATION PLANE
GAIN GM INCREASES TO 5R58 DBI AT A 19R4 DEGREE TOA, AND THE F/B IS 22R59
DB.  IN THE AZIMUTH PLANE, THE F/B IS 32R65 DB AND THE HPBW IS 97R6
DEGREES.  THE GREEN TRACES IN FIGURES 4 AND 5 SHOW THE ELEVATION AND

AZIMUTH EZNEC PLOTS FOR THIS RADIAL CONFIGURATION.  WHILE BOTH LAYOUTS B
AND C REQUIRE A HEIGHT INCREASE OF NEARLY 20 FEET TO ACHIEVE RESONANCE,
THESE TALLER ARRAYS PRODUCE MORE GAIN AT A LOWER TOA, AND THEY BETTER
SUPPRESS THE UNDESIRABLE REAR LOBE.  FURTHER, THE DRIVING POINT RESISTANCES
ARE INCREASED, WHILE THE CORRESPONDING REACTANCES ARE MUCH LOWER.  TABLE 2
LISTS THE RESULTS FROM THE MODIFIED CONFIGURATIONS, WHICH CAN BE COMPARED
