Topband: Antenna Modeling

[Nick]

Hello,Just an update on an old discussion. I am not a topband operator  but I use this list to understand as much as I can about it.
I use antenna modeling as much as I can before getting into the trouble of building something and I think that for 160m this is a necessity. When I started using modeling programs i was only driven by what I knew about antennas but I needed more.So,I did a google search for more tutorials and I found the "ARRL Antenna Modeling Course Book by L.B. Cebik" online. I think it is part of some antenna course but for some reason it is not adequately protected so you can download it for free!On goole, enter as search term "site:wm2.ctdlc.org/webmentor/courses/rds/search/" and all the results are the chapters of the book. After reading all the chapters, I understood antenna modeling much better and I am more confident on my modeling work.I know that this may be a copyright infringment, so proceed at your own responsibility.Best regards,Nick

I too would like to get started on antenna modelling. Perhaps someone could
point Eddy and me towards a good tutorial.
