Not getting into my site wasn't *your* bad luck!

Worst luck I've heard of so far - river washed away one family's whole
yard, leaving their septic system fully exposed.


Is that what you would call "tough shit"?

Thanks Stefan.

I accessed the site through an anonymizer and had no problem. Probably
some countries are blocked at that server.

Yes... Of course I should've chosen my words a bit more carefully.

I agree to you when the antenna geometry is simple, but for complex geometries 
like cars, or airplanes it is very confusing when you look on hundreds of lines 
of code.

Ah, nice program. It is not exactly what I've wanted, but its a huge 
improvement compared to a simple texteditor. For those who want to use it, I 
recommend to do a "export LC_NUMERIC=C" before starting the program.
I wondered first why a yagi had a radiation pattern like a star ;-) but then I 
remembered that in earlier versions of the program "gpsview" it showed me the 
wrong position on the map, and that was in cause of we use in germany a "," 
instead of a "." as decimal seperator. With LC_NUMERIC you change this to use a 
"." as a decimal seperator for the time you run the program. xnec2c has the 
same bug.

Thanks Wojciech!

Greetings, Stefan

Don't know of one for Linux. But in my experience, a graphical editor 
for NEC isn't of great value anyway.  The amounts that the wire lengths 
are changing while you are tuning antennas is too small relative to the 
rest of the structure and to the screen size.


What *is* useful is symbolic expressions in wire lists, so that specific 
points in space can be given names.  Makes it much easier to move a wire 
joint, since by changing the X/Y/Z values for one point all the 
associated wire dimensions are adjusted. Brian Beezley's old AO and YO 
programs did that, and it was very convenient.  I've often thought that 
a simple text-to-text preprocessor that resolved symbolic expressions 
would be very useful.
