[TowerTalk] Antenna Electrical and Physical Modeling

[Bill Cotter]

Steve,

I think your idea of a forum and repository for models is a great
idea. Please consider including the little known Yagi Stress
antenna modeling program (YS).

This little jewell cost approximately $50 (8/15/97 ver 1.0) and is
available from Kurt Andress, NI6W. Kurt applies the theory and
design principals from Dave Leeson's Physical Design of Yagi
Antennas to your modeled yagis. It calculates all the element and
boom stresses, wind loads, balance and weights, etc. I have used it
extensively to design and build my monoband yagi antennas.

I'm not sure if Kurt is in the sole business of supplying this
software or not. I was directed to him by Brian Beezley, K6STI. I
can sy that his product is well worth the $$

Thanks,

Bill
