[MRCG] MRCG CW Directed Net #1 tonite 3985 KC

Hi Jim - I have been using EZNEC Demo Version 6.0 by W7EL.  It only runs 20
segments but it's free and easy to use.  https://www.eznec.com/

20 segments are enough to model my simple wire setups...I like it a lot,
maybe I'll buy the upgraded version with more Bells&Whistles...

Fun to play with, I learned a lot, it helped me design matching circuits
(along with a Smith Chart) and the models seem to indicate how the antennas
actually work.  If you model "long wires" it will tell you where those deep
nulls are!

My Dogleg Inverted L elevation plot with the little "bulge"aimed at Andy.
Confirms how it works well in NVIS as desired..
