[LCC] Enhanced OWA

[Charles Morrison]

These posts made me google his name and callsign.  I remember around the end
of 99 when RITTY was still available, and hailed as the greatest rtty
software ever created.  However, opinion in several newsgroups seemed to
sway back and forth.. those that supported the fact that he quit because of
piracy and those that thought his software and genius was overshadowed by
his constant paranoia surrounding it.

None the less, if he's at least actively contributing to the hobby it must
mean he's waded back into the waters and that's always a good thing.  I'd be
curious to see if anyone successfully bends their active element to get a
little more gain.  :)

Back in the 90s, K6STI Brian Beezley wrote at least 4 antenna modeling /
optimizing programs that ran under the OS of the day - DOS. (Brian could
well have written an RTTY program and other programs too that I'm not aware
of.) The programs came on a 3.5 inch floppy disk that had an install
counter. A maximum of 2 installs at any one time were allowed. If the
software was uninstalled, the install counter would increment back up by
one.

The software was widely pirated, and still is to this day. As far as I know,
Brian never rewrote any of the antenna programs to run under Windows.

Has he re-entered ham radio?  Seem to recall him getting a case of the reds
because they pirated his Ritty program and he stopped ham software all
together.

Yes, I saw this too. I wonder if it is possible to get a copy of AO 9.66?

I caught this gem of "new" antenna design discussion by K6STI, Brian Beezley
on TowerTalk
