NEC-LIST: This may sound like a real dumb question.....

Good morning all,

I have just started using NEC2 to do some modelling of cross dipole
antennas, and I am trying to change the feed point of the where the
antenna is actually excited along the antenna. What I was concerned
about is when you use the EX card with a first integer at 0 (ie
excitation of a segment via a electric field), where does NEC2 percieve
the ground of this excitation to be? In other words this excitation of
the segment is in reference to where? I surmised that NEC2 treats the
excitation along the segment as much like placing a positive terminal at
the start of one end of the segment and a ground/ negative terminal at
the other end of the segment. Is that the correct way of thinking?

Regards,

Callum Heinrich.
