Glenn, and others- Have the text book for this course, and it costs
$39.95, + shipping (think $7.50), and it is fairly comprehensive,
several hundred pages (1 inch thick)!, and has 31 lessons, +
appendices, and the answers to the questions in the lessons.
It's ISBN # is 0-87259-872-1 . If you sign up for the course,
this manual is available, in .PDF format (have lots of ink and paper!)
as a download! Unfortunately, had other things come up, so didnt get to
even start the course, but from what in in the textbook, it is more than
worth the money! Well worth the money if you have EZNEC, or other
varieties of NEC. Wish had the ambition to try it again. Think it would
be better than most of the Leagues antenna books, for reference purposes!
Here is the Table of Contents:
# Familiarization with antenna modeling
# The language of modeling
# Setting up an antenna model
# Antenna model outputs
# Model sources
# Model grounds
# Frequency selection, sweeps and scaling
# Antenna loads
# Transmission lines
# Antenna model adequacy testing
# Workarounds for NEC-2 limitations
# Modeling by Equation
# Practical modeling
# Advanced and specialized modeling
....and more.
Hope this helps, Jim NN7K

Has anyone taken this? Your impressions? Does it specifically cover
any microwave antenna modelling? I assume EZNEC is the software used,
or is it something else?
