Default Online ARRL antenna modeling course

Dear Mr. Dixon (AC7ZN):

I took the course. What a bargain! Though antennas are one of my
areas, I found the course interesting. It also gave me first hand
experience with "distance learning." Many Universities will be increasing
their offerings using this scheme.

Unfortunately, the grammar and syntax of the presentations suggests that
the work has not been proofread. Professor C's work suffers now and again
from what must be transcription errors. A small number of the exam
questions have a wrong right-answer.

Even with a few warts, I recommend taking the course.

Has anyone taken this? Your impressions? Does it specifically cover
any microwave antenna modelling? I assume EZNEC is the software used,
or is it something else?


I only know about an 'offline' ARRL modelling course
(
http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=8721).
It's based on EZnec, NecWin+ and/or 'pure' Nec2 models. You can also
use 4nec2 to run the models. From my memory: mostly HF, some VHF/UHF
and no microwave.
