Hi i have had go at using this antenna Design software and i just cannot get my head around it:headbang
What i need to know is how you get a idea of a antenna thats in my head and model it in 4nec2
The antenna i want to model 1st is a 5/8 wave vertical (@27.555 mhz)
with the radiator made out of ally tube
and 3 wire 5/8 ground planes and matching it with a sigma 2 type ring (as i can make them work well with 6 feet of copper tube)
I am using the above antenna now but with estimated length and angle of the ground planes
and i want to model it befor i make the mk 11
MY IDEA
If some clever bod was to make a you-tube vid starting from the beginning (from clicking on the 4nec icon) showing how to use this fantastic bit of software i think this thread will become a sticky very quickly
Thanks dave
