K6STI's AO, YO and TA Software. During the early 1990s thru 1998, an excellent antenna analysis software was bought to market. Written by Brian Beezley, the sw packages were called Yagi Optimizer [YO], Antenna Optimizer [AO] and Terrain Analyser [TA].

Small Five-Element Yagi This small Yagi has 5.2–7.2 dBd forward gain with all backlobes more than 20 dB down across the FM broadcast. Using 'Yagi Optimizer' to Design the New W3CCX 6M Antenna.

Hi Folks, Can anyone point me to where I can buy K6STI's YO (Yagi Optimizer) program.
I did eventually buy one program from him however, he was obnoxious, unhelpful, and slow in responding. He charged me a great deal of money and refused to send it to me on disk instead, he emailed it to me. I later found he had embedded my name onto each screen so as to discourage anonomous pirating. Brian is very prompt normally.1 hour turnaround is not uncommon for E-mail requests but he maintains East Coast hours (6AM-10PM) so he may not respond promptly if you are on the West Coast. Edem software tutorial. He will often answer email questions at 6 AM EST!!!
If you have a problem with him doing what is necessary to protect his Intellectual Property, I think the problem is yours and not Brian's. Thanks to several who indeed pirated his software, he exited the ham radio business although I know he still maintains Yagi Optimizer and DSP Blaster.I'm not sure about AO. >Those 'round here who have known him tell me he has always been the unpleasant sort. His DOS based YO, AO, and other programs work well but these days I prefer the WIndows based NEC modeling programs anyway.

Nothing will hold a candle to YO in terms of optimization. I've used all versions of EZNEC thru 3.0 (including the original Elnec), and YO runs light-speed circles around EZNEC for optimizing Yagis. Brian has always been very helpful and responsive to me. My most recent experience was when he spent ~1 hour with me on the phone helping me solve a configuration problem for DSP Blaster.
