Then that lead would be the conductor connected to ground or not that I previously mentioned. In either case it would radiate and thus affect the impedance at the feedpoint.
* John, I just edited this post to explain further my point. Your question is a good one and I would be interested in the answer. My point was that I needed a description of the model in order to do a calculation. As I understand it, the model is a CB whip 3 m. above ground and the feedpoint is between the antenna base and a conductor going to ground. Since practical grounds have resistance, should this be included? I am new at easy NEC but I will give it a try. Maybe someone who is more talented with NEC will beat me to it. *
