[BC] Antenna modeling software

[Kent Winrich]

Ground systems would be important, as I may be dealing with non standard
ground systems.  (I hate to say this, buuut...) Money is not too much of an
issue.  Obtaining proper antenna systems would be.

First use would be for MW, but I would like to use it for SW up to UHF
work.  Heh, all in good time.....
