Field notes

The workflow starts with a selected antenna and user-entered dimensions and height above ground; the page says the resulting figures update when dimensions change. It lists support for .nec files used by EZNEC, 4nec2, and MMANA-GAL, allowing designs to be moved into other modeling applications for comparison. The stated licence is for one call sign and up to two of the user's own computers.
