That would be very difficult to disagree with, "aiming" your signal at
the target (or aiming your "receiving pattern" at the target) is what is
has always been about ...

HF I can figure out but just what doess this mean in english? maybe
about optimize and may be about pattern but what do3es this have to do
with irritations?

Only a bit more than the relevance of your question to me, on the
subject in question ...

A "mmana-gal" is a person of the female persuasion who uses
MMANA or perhaps one who eats manna. An "exnec" is a person who used NEC
in the past but no longer does. "Elnec" is spanish for "the NEC". And
"ao" is shorthand for "all others", "anyone", "altruistic
organizations", or "anti-oscillatory" depending on context. Make these
substitutes when you read Art's postings and they'll make a lot more sense.

Optimizations allow you to control certain variables. But the MMANA-GAL
optimization does not allow you to maximize gain for a particular elevation
angle. In point-to-point work this would be very useful, as you want to
pick the angle that has the least number of reflections from the ionosphere
and ground along the path (you lose about 10db per hop).

so no one knows what MMANA-GAL means?
this is a weird group.

It's a popular, free program for antenna modelling.

Is your Google skill REALLY that limited? Just type "MMANA-GAL" into Google
(quotes and all) and you will get all the information you need.

Hi Dave,

Is this the advice we should offer everyone? What purpose would the
group have over such an abundance of information?
