I've been 'googling' for a MININEC-based antenna modeling program (or
programs) and I've decided a guy could get old and grey before he was
through looking at all the offerings. I've kind of (based on web page
descriptions) compiled a short list of candidates as follows:

MMANA by JH3HHT
EZNEC by W7EL
NEC-Win Pro by Nitanny Scientific

Is anyone here using any of those, especially NEC-Win Plus? Can
anyone recommend one that they KNOW is better than the ones on my
list? I have $450 budgeted for this but I might consider something a
little costlier if it were overwhelmingly better.

Interesting question. I use AO program by Brian Beazely which is
Minninec based but Brian
has not supported that program in years. Based on that info I suspect
that could be classed now as freeware so a Google search may well
supply a user that is willing to provide a copy. Ofcourse you would
have to pursue the subject of legality for yourself before purchasing
tho I do not know how you would do that. I personally would love to
have the basic program
with all details to see if it could be remodelled but I have not heard
of anybody pursueing that avenue.
