[ADXA] W7EL Retiring

[Dennis Schaefer]

I guess he’s earned his retirement!  I’ve had EZNEC for years but have always been able to figure things out without having to bother Roy.  I’m pretty sure I have the latest version (EZNEC+ 6.0).   It’s nice that he’s putting it in the public domain.  

I also use Yagi Optimizer by Brian Breezley, and paid more for it than I did for EZNEC.  As far as I know, nothing has really replaced it.  There are plenty that analyze antennas, but watching YO run thousands of yagi iterations and come up with the best to suit your parameters (gain, F/B, match) is fascinating.  It models brackets, tapers, and matching systems.  Although Brian never made it free, as far as I know, I see that copies are available on the internet.  He embeds your call in the program, at least for the version I have.  It’s necessary to use it with something like DOSBox or vDOS, and I’ve never figured out how to print results from it, but I still use it.  

73,
Dennis
