I sill have the copy of MININEC that I had to sign for from the Naval OceansResearch Lab 33 years ago.?? Don't do a lot of simulation.? I have an antenna rangethat goes up to 30 GHz.?? Currently have 6 antennas in orbit, and working on3 more at the moment.

The Nano's are very handy tools. ? I own three.? 250 lbs lighter than my 8510! Have used NEC for 33 years but it cannot simulate the antennas I specialize in.

Brings back memories.? Many years ago????? Roy and I both worked at Tek. On Thursday, November 5, 2020, 1:04:37 PM CST, David Eckhardt <davearea51a@...> wrote:
Yes, quite a number of antennas modeled and built using 4NEC2 by myself!! And,..... I have the professional equipment to do proper testing including an HP 8753C VNA with associated S-Parameter test set and the full line of HP cal standards and several spectrum analyzers.? You are quite mistaken in your statements about 4NEC2.? Dipoles, J-poles, Yagis, Helices,.......? All designed with 4NEC2,? built, and properly tested using the above equipment.? Possibly you believe that 4NEC2 falls in what you state: ? ? ? " Oh, you get nice fancy diagrams and plots, but no where near the test results.? ? There are holes in those programs!!!? Kent ? ? ? ? WA5VJB" Possibly you have not spent the time learnimg how to properly utilize the application? I'll agree, 4NEC2 is not the easiest application to initially use.? I usually recommend potential users first 'cut their teeth' on EZNEC which has far fewer hooks, nooks, and crannies, but it teaches the basics of finally stepping up to 4NEC2.? It is a highly capable application for modeling and analyzing various antenna designs. Dave - W?LEV On Thu, Nov 5, 2020 at 6:46 PM KENT BRITAIN <WA5VJB@...> wrote: ?
