![]() "J. McLaughlin" wrote in message ... Dear Richard - no full name - no call - no location - probably not a real E-mail address: Let me see if I understand: You have the strange idea that someone who has the experience and skill to craft for you an expensive design (for free) is looking for something to do. Strange indeed. Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin - Michigan USA Home: This is admirable. Let me understand: You mean that it takes weeks of constant work and a deep knowledge of antenna theory and design to take an off-the-shelf NEC file (which you can buy for a few bucks, and probably many are freely available) - to end up with a half decent antenna? If that is the case, then of course my expectations may be unrealistic. But I was thinking that for someone who knew what they were doing, taking an NEC file as a starting point and then applying adjustments to take into account the actual construction details would be a few hours work. Because antenna programs do all the calculations. You just need to know what you are doing. I would not want anyone spending much time on something, of course. I just thought for someone who knew what they were doing it would a be a doddle. Heck, the real design work has been done already, it's just a matter of a few small adjustments. So I thought. But if that is not the case, I stand corrected. And if so, so I'd have no option but to do everything myself. Because that would practically be unavoidable. I never thought this was the case. |
