As a follow-up (especially to Jürgen Hagen), I've included the model
for the dipole antenna below. I obtained the following results for
the antenna at .025 lambda above fresh water:
Platform Real Antenna Input Z Imag Antenna Input Z
HP 755 Workstation 6.12763 E+01 3.63130 E+01
using HP f77 compiler
Panasonic CF-27 laptop 8.01481 E+00 -3.90306 E+03
using g77 compiler
The NEC 4.1 input file:
