[BVARC] Antenna modeling
Chris I will be willing to help you with EZnec and MMA-Gal. Both are intimidating at first until a few handles are understood. Both are front end access to the same processor written by Lawrence Livermore labs in the 50's for the Navy. We could go and hide in a zoom room and you would come out with a better understanding of how and why an antenna works.

[BVARC] Antenna Modeling Software Experience
Im curious if anyone has had any luck using antenna modeling software. I have installed several trial versions (including a fully licensed academic version) and some have no support while others require a PHD in electrical and mechanical engineering to operate. I'm looking for software that I can draw up horizontally polarized wire antennas and then manipulate its various positions with bends, turns, etc at different points to see the change in theoretical radiation pattern, and someone who has experience using. If you have any experience with such software, I am very interested in learning how to fish...

Re: [BVARC] Antenna Modeling Software Experience
Chris, John has spent a lot of time with antenna modeling, and even did a presentation at one of our previous NARS club meetings on that topic. I know John is on the BVARC reflector as well, but I have copied him here if you want to reach out to him directly. I'm sure he could work with you in one of our Zoom breakout rooms for a quick demo as needed.
