That is so true. As I've posted here before, the 99 bucks you spend for
EZNEC can be the best ham money you ever spent. Its educational value is
really outstanding. No matter what piece of wire you propose to put up, you
can model its radiation pattern and find out so much more than you can from
the rich folklore surrounding antennas. Try it and see!
