Subj: NEC-WIN Antenna Software a Winner! Date: Thu, Jun 15, 1995 4:38 PM EDT From: fisher@hp-and.an.hp.com To: cq-contest@tgv.com I received my copy of the NEC-WIN BASIC Antenna Modelling software from Paragon Technology this week. This is release 1.0, which was offered with a discount at Dayton. It basicly offers a nice Windows interface/wrapper for the NEC code. I am very pleased and impressed. Please understand that my experience with antenna programs is limited. Yet in one evening I was able to enter and study three antennas easily. I compared results on KY1H's phased inverted vees at 150 feet on 80 meters, and got essentially identical results to those he published in the YCCC Scuttlebutt. As the program is in its early release stages, I expected some bugs. I found a few minor ones, but nothing that represents a serious problem or a glaring error. I called the folks at Paragon Technology, and they were very responsive to my comments and suggestions, noting that they would be following up with more polished releases soon. I have no affiliation with Paragon Tech, but I would highly recommend their product. -Tony, K1KP, fisher@hp-and.an.hp.com
