It's somewhat limited in what all it can do, but should be more than
sufficient for what you are looking for...plus it has one of the easiest
must usable GUIs around thus relativley quick learn.

Hi,

My last few posts to the Topband reflector appear to run into a 'filter' so
I no longer post there. 

I'm having an issue with my inverted-L on 160, arcing and melting. 
The location appears to be fairly consistent at around 137' The total
antenna length is 161'8" with series capacitence at the feedpoint. Is there
any freely available or inexpensive modeling software that someone might
direct me to, help me figure out what's going on?

Thanks,

Gary
