NEC-LIST: Airframe antennas for HF communications

Hi.

I use NEC to generate the radiation pattern of transmit and receive
antennas for use with ICEPAC, which I now need to use to predict the
coverage performance expected by an air-traffic control ground
station. Can anyone please advise me of the approach I should use to
characterise the antenna performance expected on a typical large
airliner? I realise that there are several different types with
different performances, but there should be one which could be adopted
for the purpose of determining the service probability.

To complete the job I also need a figure to characterise the expected
receive noise level.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
