I learned a lot about my low band antenna system by building a full model of it using EZNEC and SimSmith. It enabled me to learn where the losses were band by band and resulted in a few changes. On 80m SimSmith said the loss in the 450 ohm was high because of the specific type I was using. It needed replacing anyway so I home brewed a length of ladder line and picked up over a dB. YMMV.
