Does it require one to input the type of vehicle?
yes, input selections are pretty much based on vehicle size; largest
vehicle choice is a Van type. Last choice is "fixed station" which I
assume means no vehicle at all.. and that is the only choice requiring a
ground loss entry. Since my proposed antenna is for an RV, it appears I
really needn't have asked the ground loss question at all!
mobile.exe is a rather neat little DOS program located on the CD in
the back of newer ARRL antenna books, I believe.... maybe in the Handbook
too, I'm not sure on that.
