Yep, we had a party line shared by one person up the road a bit. But, I'm
still a youngster, I'm only 68! Bad thing is my body thinks I'm 80, issues
everywhere. But I keep waking up every morning so far. If I don't, I won't
be able to put snide comments into the groups!

Oh yes, and remember the "party lines". They were neat in small midwestern
towns!! And the "exchange operator" who had to plug in your requested
connection(s)?
OK, this is deviating a bit much from the intent of the NANO VNA group.io
intentions. But I love this thread......

We

it

ham radio, it's time to have my head examined. If it could run
SmiSmith
and 4NEC2, I might change my mind, but it does not.
/All ya gadda do/ is rewrite 4nec2 plus NEC in Java (SimSmith is
already in Java), and you'll be all set on an Android. NEC4 Fortran to
Java might not be that hard. It's only 25,000 lines of code, but I'll
bet there's a fortran to java converter that can do a lot of it.
The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
(NEC2 was run through f2c with some level of success)
