[TowerTalk] Antenna modelling program

[john at kk9a.com]

EZNEC seems to give accurate results and I like the software, however it is 
difficult to design yagis without some computer assistance.  It is too bad 
that there are no plans to add an optimizer to EZNEC.  I have never tried 
4nec2 and I was not aware that it has an optimizer until this post.  I think 
I may give it a try!

And it has an optimizer routine, which EZNEC does not, and at Dayton a
few years ago, W7EL said he had no intention to write one.
