Am looking for recommendations of antenna analysis software programs to
assist me in development and construction of a variety of wire and
multi-band antennas. Primarily interested in programs that display radiation
pattern. No preference if it is old DOS based or the latest thing. I would
prefer shareware/free or at least something reasonable in cost. Thanks.

EZNEC seems to work well. A bit of a learning curve but thats to be
expected.
And Roy is always around here on the groups should you need to find him.

Thanks Arie, I'll make a note of that.

Wes, Bill, Arie and all...

Thank you for taking the time to assist me! In concert with my
all-boatanchors shack I have run across some unusual antennas in early
"wireless" books and thought it would be fun to use vintage sky wires as
well.

I am grateful for all of your help.
