If you are referring to EC-004, I took the course last fall.

I went into it knowing I was pretty antenna smart already. I deserved
the humbling experience. As with most endeavors, if you have a lot of
self discipline you could do fine just buying the book and some
modeling software. If I had not taken the course, I would not have
stayed on track. It was well worth the effort and the expense. The
course uses Nec-2 or EZNEC. I opted for EZNEC+ mainly because I was
able to try out the demo version. I have never regretted it and I have
not felt the need for NEC-2.

I feel it has saved me a lot of frustration in dealing with my own
antennas. It is not specific to any frequency or type of antennas. It
provides you with the information on how to evaluate plans without
having to suffer some mistakes. It also provides warnings about where
modeling fails. I think it is worth both the time and money.

Has anyone taken this? Your impressions? Does it specifically cover
any microwave antenna modelling? I assume EZNEC is the software used,
or is it something else?
