For NEC-1, NEC-2 and NEC-4 Gerald Burke and others at the Lawrence Livermore Lab deserve a lion's share of credit for drafting user documentation, correcting bugs and enhancing code that was originally done in the early '70s by MBAssociates for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Just a bit of NEC history. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO, John Wood (Code 5550) e-mail: Naval Research Laboratory 4555 Overlook Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20375-5337 I absolutely and enthusiastically second that. My contribution has been almost solely an interface (although at around 60,000 lines of code it's not completely trivial). The underlying code was the work of a number of very savvy people, including Dr. Burke who still supports it as time permits. EZNEC would not have been possible without those people's extensive, painstaking, and superbly documented work. Many other people have given a good deal of time in aiding with the development of EZNEC. I encourage all EZNEC users to read the "Acknowledgements" section in the "Introduction" chapter of the EZNEC manual. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Roy fails to mention that he recently discovered a bug in the NEC code which he passed on to Gerald Burke at LLB. I suggest that Roy is also envolved more than just providing an interface for running the NEC engine. Danny, K6MHE |
