[TowerTalk] Particle Swarm Optimization in ham products?

[Rudy Bakalov <r_bakalov@yahoo.com>]

I was wondering if there is a PSO optimization algorithm developed as an add-on 
to any of the ham antenna modeling programs--  EZNEC, 4NEC2, etc. I have been 
working on a very long 20m wire yagi that takes forever to optimize using the 
regular evolution engine for 4NEC2, even under the MP version of the NEC2 
engine. I have come across quite a few articles suggesting that PSO is much 
faster than GA optimization algorithms.
