You may have issues with Roy, but it is pretty unprofessional to deride his
program on that account.

It does predict the angle of maximum radiated power. "Take off
angle" is a great term for those who believe that the energy exits the
antenna as a blob, all in one place, and no energy elsewhere.

It isn't a propagation tool, it's a design tool, and as such
propagation is not at issue. Apples/Oranges.

But you're a smart fellow, so I guess you are pulling our collective legs
here.. 8^)

Watch it, Mike, he may plonk you, a fate worse than running out of
