Guys,
I ran into this "slide rule" type calculator for FAA NDB shortened
vertical antenna design.
It yields some stuff that EZNEC doesn't. It estimates antenna
efficiency, current, peak voltage and bandwidth.
One does have to guess at the ground loss contributor since the charts
provided cover only 200 - 500 kHz and 30 or 60 radials.
There is a prescription for handling guy wire type top hats.
Worth a look at your 160M antenna. You might be surprised how high peak
voltages can be.
