[TowerTalk] Antenna Modeling Programs

[Pat **W0OPW**]

 I'm also a fan of AO(from K6STI).  Configurations are built using 
geometry instead of absolute coordinates.  This speeds up analysis to 
the where I can run multi definitions very rapidly. By geometry, the 
input 'deck' has basic algebra plus SIN, COS, and SQR functions.  
Variables can be deined and then the 'optimizer' option is invoked to 
massage the variables to yield the best design based on what your 
after(SWR, GAIN, etc).  There is a nice GUI(User interface) to DOS with 
1 letter commands for: Edit, Gain, Plot, View, Three-D view, etc.
 Antenna building was never so nice !!!
