>ARRL C-CE Program Unveils First Technical Course -- Antenna Modeling 
>The ARRL Certification & Continuing Education Program is proud to offer its
>first technical course -- Antenna Modeling. Written by the well-known author
>and historian L.B. Cebik, W4RNL, and edited by Dean Straw, N6BV, with much
>feedback from a dedicated group of beta testers, the course offers students
>a hands-on tutorial in this popular area. After working on the course, Straw
>commented "I've been modeling antennas using a computer for about 15 years
>and I certainly learned a great many things in this course. LB, you're an
>amazing guy!" Antenna Modeling is the fourth course in the program and is
>also known by its catalog number (EC-004 -- educational course 004).
>
>The best method for mastering the art and science of antenna design and
>analysis is to become familiar with the basic concepts of computerized
>modeling of antennas and the software that is available to do the job. Using
>computer simulations (models), you will study the performance of a wide
>variety of antennas, without having to invest in a test range or a room full
>of test equipment. In this course, students will learn to master the basic
>techniques of constructing good models.
>
>Several excellent and affordable antenna modeling software packages are
>available within the boundaries of the typical Amateur Radio budget. This
>course will illustrate the elements of modeling antennas using two of the
>most popular packages based on the NEC-2 core. One package is EZNEC 3.0 by
>Roy Lewallen, W7EL (http://www.eznec.com/). The other is NEC-Win Plus by
>Nittany-Scientific (http://www.nittany-scientific.com/). Since each
>commercial software package has its own proprietary file system, we make
>available models as examples in the formats used by each  program. This
>course presumes that you have one of these packages or that you are willing
>and able to adapt the ideas presented in the course to another package you
>use.
