Finally, a modest question: if you have EZNEC, why would you
be wasting time with something inferior? The gold standard is the gold

Perhaps more the silver or electrum standard.
EZNEC doesn't do dielectric loading, for instance. (unless you get the
Nec4 engine from Roy)
And, it's a MoM code, so things not well represented by collections of
wires aren't necessarily modeled well.


Nothing is perfect, but which is better, EZNEC or the Cecil-Corum method
of modeling antennas?
