Well, I have patched xnec2c so that the default windows fit onto my
screen better. I am a ham radio operator, and have contributed maybe a

I am a relatively new ham and I am trying to make up my mind which

software would be best to use.
I am currently running Fedora 18. Any suggestions? I do use LOTW.
