It was just fun trying to make such a program, it kept me from the
streets and I learned a lot from it...

Dhere d you test your own program and what was the outcome?
I thought you would be crowing or crying not quiet about it

These computor programs that are being offered by many is really
bothering me. Since the early days of antenna programming where there
was oversight over the accuracy of programs and where it was released
to the public there has been no oversight.
That means that anybody can sell a computor program with algorithms
that are faulty and even be granted a patent. Thus amateurs and
professionals are now buying antenna computor programs on pure trust!
Who would have believed that science would come to this, pure trust
and put themselves at risk.
Now I have provided the basis of a totally new series of antennas
so can I generate an algerithm that supports my claim and sell it to
the masses? Yes I sure can as long as I protect the generation of
Yagi's there is nobody out there that can challenge me.
And these programs could then end up being used by Governments as they
are not interested in checking the underlying facts as that is for a
beurocrat to follow up on. The present crop of programs
made around unknown and unchecked algorithms do not in the main
allow for comparisom checks against other programs and frankly they
all differ in their results which we all blow away since so much is
based on empirical analysis and as such one will vary from another. I
put out a challenge for any computor program regardless of what
algarithms were used to come out with the same design using variables
such that erronius algorithms could not be protected btu programmers
need the money and will not agree to that and the government will buy
it anyway.
I stated earlier that in a way the yagi put science back a few decades
and the yagi designs are perpetuating this dragging.
When will those who have the power step into this morass and clear
things up such that we can move towards accuracy?
When will we have programs that totally agree with each other such
that the likes of W4RNL doesn't have to alert us to areas where we
must fudge a bit? If the power of a lashing tongue is always able to
repell the advance of science we are indeed in a sorry state. Who
amongst you can voutch for the veracity or accuracy of the program
that you put your trust into via personal
contact of all the intricancies that the programmer placed into it
without oversight?
