[TowerTalk] EZNEC antenna modeling forum has been created onYahoo

Thanks Larry.

It seems many groups demand you have extensive knowledge to be allowed to
ask questions. If not not the "pros" will shoot you down and recicule you.
It has happened to me.

I made a comment and was told that "this is not Facebook"!! Nice peers!!
This is a hobby and if people want to show off their expertise find another
venue. Thanks.

I found this exchange very useful, actually.

Besides, somebody had a question, their google-fu failed them and they got
fixed up.  Don't see the problem here.

Furthermore, speaking as someone who has tried his hand at "NEC"
documentation, I find it one of the least informative interfaces on the
planet whether "EZ" or the others.  This is one case where RTFM was _not_
helpful.

Me, I'm off to the various fora where maybe I can learn, among other things,
_how_ to read that manual.  Maybe if you already have a Ph D in antenna
theory, the manual is a snap.

But, I don't, so it isn't.
