You can probably arrive at the same correct technical
conclusions by downloading the free demo version of
EZNEC and selecting the diameter of the conductor.

No doubt, Cecil. Of course this wasn't where the conversation started
at. I haven't tried EZNEC to model a cage antenna, will it do it? Or do
you just make the wires really thick? And how does really thick wire
compare to a cage of the same relative diameter?
