DEGREES TOA, AND THE F/B IMPROVES TO 19R73 DB, WHILE THE F/B IS NOW 26R25
DB AND THE HPBW IS 98R6 DEGREES IN THE AZIMUTHAL PLANE.  THE RADIATION
PATTERN PLOTS ARE GIVEN IN FIGURES 7 AND 8 BLUE TRACES.  HOWEVER, BRINGING
EACH ANTENNA INTO RESONANCE RESULTS IN SIGNICANT CHANGES IN THE DRIVING
POINT IMPEDANCES OF MOST ELEMENTS.  JUST AS WE SAW EARLIER WHEN USING
QUARTER WAVE VERTICAL ELEMENTS, ROTATING THE FOUR FCP RADIALS BY 90 DEGREES
HAS ALMOST NO IMPACT UPON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ARRAY.  THE CONFIGURATION

AN F/B OF 20R02 DB IN THE ELEVATION PLANE, ALONG WITH AZIMUTHAL PLANE F/B
AND HPBW VALUES OF 26R95 DB AND 98R6 DEGREES, RESPECTIVELY.  FIGURES 7 AND
