I found this exchange very useful, actually.
Besides, somebody had a question, their google-fu failed them and they got
fixed up. Don't see the problem here.
Furthermore, speaking as someone who has tried his hand at "NEC"
documentation, I find it one of the least informative interfaces on the
planet whether "EZ" or the others. This is one case where RTFM was _not_
helpful.
Me, I'm off to the various fora where maybe I can learn, among other
things, _how_ to read that manual. Maybe if you already have a Ph D in
antenna theory, the manual is a snap.
But, I don't, so it isn't.
