Dear Richard - no full name - no call - no location - probably not a
real E-mail address:
Let me see if I understand: You have the strange idea that someone
who has the experience and skill to craft for you an expensive design
(for free) is looking for something to do. Strange indeed.

This is admirable.
Let me understand:
You mean that it takes weeks of constant work and a deep knowledge of
antenna theory and design to take an off-the-shelf NEC file (which you can
buy for a few bucks, and probably many are freely available) - to end up
with a half decent antenna?
If that is the case, then of course my expectations may be unrealistic.
But I was thinking that for someone who knew what they were doing, taking an
NEC file as a starting point and then applying adjustments to take into
account the actual construction details would be a few hours work. Because
antenna programs do all the calculations. You just need to know what you
are doing.
I would not want anyone spending much time on something, of course. I just
thought for someone who knew what they were doing it would a be a doddle.
Heck, the real design work has been done already, it's just a matter of a
few small adjustments. So I thought.
But if that is not the case, I stand corrected.
And if so, so I'd have no option but to do everything myself. Because that
would practically be unavoidable. I never thought this was the case.
