There have been over 2 million copies of
my freeware 'Quickyagi' downloaded, with
zero (0) complaints from users. Free, isn't
everything, y'know...


Hi Chuck,

I didn't know that program, but I'll Google for it and have a
look. In any case, from it's name, I infer that it is a Yagui
design/optimize program that may be very good, but only for
advanced amateurs.

What I was referring to, and this is what makes EZNEC special, is
the posibility of "try and see". You read about, for ex., delta
match and go to EZNEC and try it. You can experiment what happens
if the match is too long or too short or... whatever. This is
specially good to check that your design is not too critical. If
you see that small differences in element construction will cause
big degradation you can forget building it with real tools and
materials.

As for the price, effectively, free isn't everything but it helps
with programs whose utility is not clear until you have used them
for long enough. I know this is the shareware concept but I
reckon it does not work for business. Roy's intermediate approach
seems good to me: reduced but sufficient functionality for the
masses and full for whoever pays it.
