This is about construction and not operating, and I am interested in what software is used by group members when designing building and testing amateur radio equipment, including antennas and not just for LF. This includes any software that is still available, whether it is freeware or paid-for Also, do you have favourite web sites or discussion groups to exchange technical (not operating) information? Are there any other ways you use a computer to improve your ability to make radio gear? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. 73 Mike, G3XDV ==========
