I am looking to purchase some antenna modeling software.
Can anyone make a suggestion as to which one they think is the best,
easiest to use and best value for the money.

Hi Black

Have you tried the free/demo version of EZNEC? "How To Use" that
antenna modeling program is well described in in HAM publications by guys
like Cebik http://www.cebik.com/amod/amod103.html. It is easy
to
use even without outside assistance. I'd like to know why every ham
with
antenna interest doesnt have a copy of EZNEC. Try the moseling
software at http://www.eznec.com/ then, if you have time, tell
me
why it isnt of interest to you.

I have looked at EZNEC but there are others out there also. This is why
the question is being asked.

Which ones do you like and why? What one would you recommend to me and
why?
What features do you like about the program you are using.

Basically, you be the sales person for whatever modeling progam you use.

Hi Black

I like EZNEC because it works very well, it is very affordable, it is
supported by an extremely good technical guy, it is easy to use, there is
alot of ARRL/HAM instructions available, it will produce circularly
polarized plots. AND, it is Affordable.
I also assume that *if* you were a professional, looking for advice on a
program for antenna modeling, you wouldnt be asking on this "HAM related
news group".
