Hi Jimmie

EZNEC isnt restricted totheoritical antennas. I use it alot to get
data for my real antennas. I can get better information on my antenna
designs with EZNEC than I get with the actual pattern measurement.
I am an old guy with almost no computer skill. But, EZNEC has been
very easy for me to use. I got a good head start from a couple aarr
regulars, so I didnt even need to read the instructions.

But I would run a lot of theoretical antennas if I had it. I can see me
wasting a lot of time with it.
Granted it would be great for he project I am trying to do now and I am
sure its a great product.

Hi Jimmie

Forgive me if I sound flippant. But, this "computer modeling tool" isnt
intended to be a time wasting device. There is no reason to think of it
as just a "theoretical" program. EZNEC shows you quickly what your
antennas can be expected to do in Real Life. I consider EZNEC to be one of
the finest electronic/antenna tools a person can buy. And, if finances
are tight at this time, Roy is willing to let you use the program without
any money trading hands. The program would be an excellent way for you to
gain the confidence you are looking for when discussing Antennas with your
associates.
My advice to continues to be "try it, you'll like it".
