NEC-LIST: Combining Antenna Modeling with Propagation Predictions

[Commercial announcement] MultiNEC Version 2.0 is now available. With this
release you can see not only the traditional source impedance and radiation
pattern for your antenna but also the expected propagation results.
MultiNEC now includes a built-in interface to the VOACAP program that can be
used to produce area coverage maps and/or time and distance point-to-point
plots.

In keeping with the "multi-run" character of MultiNEC you can automatically
generate a series of maps or plots covering any parameter that affects
propagation. This includes changes to the frequency, power level, beam
heading, month, time of day, or sunspot number as well as changes to the
antenna geometry itself. After all the maps or plots in a set have been
generated they can be played back as an animation.

You can use existing EZNEC, NEC, Antenna Model (Teri Software), ELNEC,
MMANA, AO, or Nec/Wires format models. MultiNEC can import all these
formats or you can build your antenna model from scratch. To experiment
with propagation predictions you can also use several built-in antennas such
as generic dipoles, Yagis, or verticals.

MultiNEC Version 2 is not free but the cost is quite reasonable. I hope you
will forgive my slight transgression in making this commercial announcement
here. For complete details including several sample animations and a
full-function, no-time-limit download please see www.qsl.net/ac6la/.
MultiNEC requires Excel 97 or later.
