Services & Products

• RF Safety Exposure Analysis (FCC Part 65 et al.) - I can help you with your local ZBA tower permit process by providing stamped engineering documents, which carry a lot more weight than your average Web page calculator. 
• Digital Photo Tower Simulations. See what your tower will look like before it goes up. This is a very useful visual aid to include in your permit application. See my article in February 2001 QST. 
• Modeling terrain effects on antenna performance
• General antenna modeling using the various NEC engines such as NEC4WIN-VM and EZNEC. 
• Expert witness testimony - at, e.g., your tower permit hearing. This can include such topics as "Why do you need so high a tower?",  explaining terrain/line-of-sight considerations, HF propagation, or discussing any of the analyses I prepared for you.
