Forum Description: Lee will introduce antenna modeling and techniques he has used over the last four years to design, analyze, and optimize his small antenna farm on a one-half-acre lot. Lee started with a 40M dipole in his attic, then ventured outside with an 80M Off-Center Fed (OCF) Dipole. Next came the End Fed Half Wave dipoles, both vertical and horizontal versions. Most recently, he has been operating with both 80 and 40-meter horizontal Loops. The modeling program, MMANA-GAL, allowed him to get the most performance out of his lot and HOA situation.
