Jim - I use CocoaNEC from W7AY:
< http://www.w7ay.net/site/Applications/cocoaNEC/ >
It works very well with a pretty good user interface. I have used it a lot to
model a variety of antennas. It is unsupported, but Kok is good about answering
questions about it. I think the source code is also available at that web site.
It can also use the NEC-4 engine if you have that.
At the risk of sending you back to Boot Camp/Parallels, if you are just
modeling Yagis, YagiCad from VK2TIP is hard to beat for simplicity, a good
interface and reasonable results.
Of course, as with any model, you must know a bit about the theory and
practical application you are modeling to see if you are getting reasonable
results out of it. Garbage in, gospel out. - Duffey KK6MC
