I have printed all of your replies and want to thank you
all for taking your time to answer my question.
Now I am in the mode of researching all the answers.
Thanks one and all.
BTW:
What spurred this desire to do my own was I downloaded an
old amateur book from 1959 and was reading the antenna
section.
One thing that hit me between the eyes was that although
computers and rigs have changed drastically.
Antennas are the same. Interested there have been no
advances in antennas, oh sure there have been some who
say theirs is better different, ect. But when you get
right down to it the "magic" has not changed at all.

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
