I suspect most (or at least many) Americans are resistant to change and
unwilling to give anything different than what they are used to a fair try
before dismissing it.

spent their lives being grouchy and cranky
Actually,
I felt sorry the miserable old **'s. Now I'm in the same position
they were in I don't have time to be *that* miserable. I have all the
same excuses to be a jerk but I can't see how that would make any of the
aches and pains go away nor how it would restore any of the assets wall

After I took the trouble to learn about inches, fractions of inches,
feet, yards, miles, acres, sections, tons, pounds and ounces that
*other* funny system was introduced! Oy vay! Talk about a funny
system...what about those fluid ounces and the weight kind? Were they
smoking something

It's fun to learn that Dr. Maxwell, the inventor of electromagnetic waves,
had used metric units exclusively 200 years ago.
So, why we cannot do the same today?

CU on the 525 foot band, Carl? Seriously, I suspect that the reason why
many of us work in meters when modeling is simply that some of the most
useful software products default to that.

I suspect most Americans are more comfortable with our own measuring system
plus our ham bands where antenna formulas are still published in feet and
inches.

Since I started this thread, hopefully this will end it. I was talking about a
difference on the order of 6' - 9', which I think was understood. But there
are always those few that like to stir the pot, no matter how petty. Thanks to
those who provided useful feedback. I'll follow up
Here in South Africa we always had the imperial system till somewhere in the
middle sixties and before that we changed from pounds to decimal Rand and
cents.
It was met with some resistance but soon everybody got used to it.

I never found a way to model an an antenna over anything but flat, level
ground. Not in EZNEC+ 5.0, anyway.

Has anyone modeled or have experience with a transmit vertical array, say a
4-square, over uneven ground? By uneven I mean a variance of up to 2 - 3 meters
over the footprint of the array elements. I have plenty of room at this QTH but
the terrain is fairly uneven. I've done some modeling but

It seems to me and I may be wrong but dont you get the tilted ground answer
just by tilting your vertical elements with respect to ground in Eznec?
From what I see with doing that the take off angle mostly follows the ground
with
at least 1/4 wave or less vertical antennas.
