Yesterday I ran simulation of franklin (with 3 mm conductor 6mm gap) on 4nec2 software, and it gave very erratic results. I then ran simulation on MMANA-GAL software, it also gave very erratic results. It seemed these software are not capable to properly handle thick wire.
Today when I ran simulation again (for 3mm wire with 6mm gap between wires) on 4nec2, it showed good results !!!!!! It gave optimum tap position at 47mm from open end (or 69-47=22mm from shorted end). I don't know if this is again a misbehavior of software or is it genuine. Best way left now is to build & test.
Edit: simulation results deleted due to error in wire data (wire 10). See corrected results in new post below
