You might try opening EZNEC sample model 20M5ELYA.ez. That's a
typical 5-element 20m beam with stepped diameter tubing. (EZNEC uses
"stepped diameter" for telescoping aluminum tubes because "tapered
segments" has a different meaning.)
Excellent point - tapered means "conical section" (i.e. smoothly varying
radius), and most antennas are actually stepped.
In all the NEC engines, there's no problem connecting a "wire" with
radius X to a wire with radius Y, especially if they're in a straight
line, and the segment length isn't less than the diameter.
You could delete wires 23-55 and you'd be left with 2 elements on a 6
foot boom. Then start experimenting from there.
