I don't know how the above line got trashed, but I typed ".5 dB".

Thanx. I also downloaded NEC, I am trying to compile it on a NeXT...
Let's hope it'll work... (it does not :( )
Well, my father has a PC, but commanding a copy of an american software is
a real pain, there are no easy solution to pay in dollars.
Anyway, thanks for everything.

To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu
I would very much like to see a new newsgroup: rec.radio.amateur.propagation.
Am I the only one ? To me the newly created newsgroups .antenna, .equipment
etc. are doing very well. The point is that the new groups create more
discussion on these areas. Atleast I think so. Another thing is that it is
much more convenient to read these groups since they are not loaded with
stuff you are not interested. Or is there a propagation newsgroup I
haven't found yet ?

Call the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) at 1-800-326-3942 and they'll
send you a "New Ham" info package with contact information, etc.
You can also immediately order the license manual for Novice and Technician
class licenses by calling the ARRL order line at 1-203-666-1541.
The license manual/study guide is: "Now You're Talking", item #4173, $19.
Hope that helps.
