I can tell you from experience that I was unsuccessful in getting a
trustworthy result from NEC2 when I modeled a linearly loaded antenna.

The two pc versions that include fine GUIs are:

Brian Beesley's NEC for Yagis and NEC for Wires

and

Roy Lewallen's EZNEC

Each has its pluses and minuses as far as the features and interface is
concerned. Both are using the NEC2 code.
