Funny you should mention that. *As, when you peek closely under the hood of the NEC engine (at least the one I use and have the source code to), it does have a bit of what you call "voodoo science", IMHO ... Can you believe that? This guy is claiming that the method of moments is voodoo science! I wonder what is peek under the hood was. What books did he read? Can he still read books? It's twight time... Only people with limited room are likely to be interesting in accepting a decrease in performance, vs using full size antennas. The only place you see me using small antennas on HF Don't forget us guys who are over 50 and getting tired of maintaining large hunks of metal in the sky and fighting the force of gravity Gods to do so (in more ways than one! * Not to mention those fierce ether winds. And, not to mention neighbors, rules, regulations, etc.) *With the price of real estate being manipulated near "Hong Kong Prices" (what is that, about a million dollars a sq. ft.?), I guess "John" has not heard about the real estate crash. reduced size antennas will only increase in uses and demand ... That is true because the microwave portions of the spectrum is becoming so pervasive. But not HF. Regards, JS Sigh....another senility eruption takes its course. John could well be correct as certain assumed conditions(assumptions) were set over and above Maxwell's laws prior to the program being computed ! These programs are generally used to determine the functions of planar antennas and the like that do NOT meet the conditions implied in Maxwell's laws. One condition implicite in all the laws of the masters is that Newtons laws with respect to equilibrium must be observed, which rules out such arrangements as the Yagi. This is not to say that Maxwell's laws are used incorrectly in antenna programs,only that it is usually used outside its intended usage where acountability of all vectors are not accounted for, which thus provides aproximations Close enough for horse shoes and lemmings but not for the pursuit of science along the lines intended by Newton and others.
